hail to the summer breeze! the debut of robert horton is a cause for celebration. years in the making, "angel humming through wire" is a glorious look at this boston (now on the west coast) native's washed out headspace. organic compositions of love and loss that occupy similar space as thuja or birchville cat motel. in this land of giants, horton bends and distorts acoustic instruments into various shapes, producing sounds never before heard. in his travels, he has collaborated with the likes of tom carter, michael shannon, and daniel raffel, but this voice is solely his own. "angel humming through wire" is an exorcising experience; it is the search for that which the earth has sacrificied. 100 copies
