Paw Paw “Plural Being”

15 Mar 2013 — Henning Lahmann

Paw Paw is the palpably celestial, drone-heavy solo project by Woodsman drummer Eston Lathrop. After a slew of digital releases, dropped over the course of the last two years via bandcamp, Brooklyn imprint Fire Talk is going to release the 16-track double cassette Temporalis / Epiphysis next month. Predominantly unobtrusive and low-key, Lathrop's music meanders gently along a mellow path of contemplation, the almost 70 minutes playing time being enough to put the listener into a welcome state of mild and warming sedation. Listenened to en passant, the individual tracks may sometimes come across as somewhat nondesript, but closer attention reveals a wealth of well-constructed details emerging from the all-encompassing wall of sound. A very rewarding listen taken by itself, shrooms or other means of narcotization will probably enhance the overall experience. We're happy to premiere today another track from the cassette, the especially beatific "Plural Being". Stream it below.

Temporalis / Epiphysis is out digitally and on cassette via Fire Talk on April 23. Pre-order now over here.
