341. TIMOTHY BLACKMAN "WOLVES"

well here's a wonderful new talent from the antipodes that i've only just recently discovered, i am compelled to share this beautifully crafted track, the intense et rousing, thrumming et string-laden, cathartic-howling, existential-fueled folk reverie Wolves, from Wellington-based singer-songwriter Timothy Blackman off his sophomore album "Everyone Needs Something To Hold On To" (2011).

the brilliant slow-rising et tension-building, chugging, staccato cello rhythm is reminiscent of Neil Young's phenomenal 'improvised' guitar work on the stunning "Dead Man" soundtrack.

definitely recommended for fans of Mount Eerie/Phil Elverum et Smog/Bill Callahan ...

"Maybe I can touch the sky,

Maybe you can say I do

We were like wolves in the mountains."

take a look at the poignant et disquieting, atmospheric et angst-tinged music video for Wolves, directed by Oslo-based filmmaker Alistair Cheyne. enjoy!
