Greg Davis invites us to a walk in the countryside inside his head. Dreamy, bucolic instrumentation integrates acoustic and electronic: field recordings, drones, occasional vocals, and backwoods ambient mixed in with more structured songs. Digital experimentation with the pastoral and organic employing a strong emotional canvas - more melancholic than sombre - to layer slow-moving yet rich sonic elements: finger-picked strings stretched to resemble barren branches, bird chirps and music boxes scattered about and a kick-drum keeping step.
Like a winter landscape, seemingly sparse from the outside, once among the trees, Curling pond Woods reveals a nuanced density of sound to get lost in. The mood is maintained by two charming covers: Brian Wilson's At My Window, and The Incredible String Band's Air.
