Spoken word meets chanted incantations, gently fingerpicked acoustic guitar is placed alongside spindly piano melodies, the creak of floorboards in the background mirrors the creak of fingerprints dragged across guitar strings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWoven throughout are bursts of tape-recorded radio static that reveal hardly distinguishable voices while MacDougall sings of equally fleeting phenomena. Winds, breezes, and mists rattle through houses and crumbling cityscapes throughout, with objects in a constant state of flux: growing, burning, drying, rotting, or unfurling. Such cryptic suggestions and surreal imagery evade easy parsing but like a poignant dream linger with the listener.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Mitch L.l Ryan\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHorn of Plenty, 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2660243924\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/warmcurrency.bandcamp.com\/album\/petals\"\u003ePetals by Warm Currency\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"naturestripstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47615560548593,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8859\/0065\/files\/warmcurrency_petal.jpg?v=1733891268","url":"https:\/\/naturestripstore.myshopify.com\/products\/warm-currency-petals-lp","provider":"naturestripstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
