Birds by Torn Sail

This is the kind of record you want to find on side two of that country rock album that you can’t quite throw out, it’s never there, but you try again in 6 months. Don’t bother, grab this and take that LP to the tip. On the flip side Tiago has the mammoth job of remixing this beauty, amazingly he manages to not only do it justice, but to drag it from the West Coast to the heart of Cologne, injecting a motorik rhythm and serious manipulation of the parts to make this 10 minutes of Kraut infected drive, the drop down to languid half speed at the end is a stroke of genius.

Torn Sail make bold, singular, extravagant records of rare, uncompromised passion. Each of his records swerves from the beaten track – though COSTIN always eyes his destination – and its subtle surprises still startle after repeated listens. (Wyndham Wallace)
