moving from new zealand to the uk has not been detrimental to peter wright's brilliant recordings. "desolation beauty violence" offers up wailing, droning insights into all three ideas. this is a sonic catharsis in every sense of the word. dichotomy is the key here, and the tension between these concepts sings through like a lark. like a crisp winter morning, by the end of "desolation beauty violence," mr. wright will have all your senses tingling and your mind searching for solutions. few musicians can turn drone into such an artform. 105 copies
