Desdenova An astonshing piece of work, to my ears. Fine foley work, with some primal, scratchy blues. Cheers! Favorite track: Dog's heart.

about

"An auditory adventure 'cross plains and memory."

"Father… is a bucket of memories; loss, confusion, childhood night terrors – but also the telling of a journey; across fields of wildflowers framed by black locust; through bleak desert landscapes beneath dry limestone cliffs; from childhood to a somewhat grown up, and hopefully more perceptive, state of being."

"Father, Dogs and Demons: a collection of short songs..." is a compilation of 17 interwoven songs and auditory excursions written and recorded by Mumbles during a period of five years.
The album is the first official release by Mumbles focusing on lyrics over Foley-art and instrumental music.

"Father, dogs and demons..." was put together without the use of samples or field-recordings – instead Mumbles uses a microphone and whatever is at his disposal to create the world inside which the story plays out.

Excellent album, nice job balancing clobbering caveman-style drums with a sort of soothing finger-picked style guitar, throw in a touch of palette cleaning noise (that thankfully knows its place) and there you have it. Pretty perfect. Reminds me a bit of Radian or Noplace. Lost Tribe Sound

What fucking sorcery is this? Where have you been all my life, you beautiful mountain beast? A pummeling of deep dank rhythms, crisp dog whistle electronics, convulsing distortion, and hoards of half dead guitarists give it their all on the final dirge. Lost Tribe Sound

It has been the song that I listen to when I start editing my film. There is such great energy from the song, thank you! Fanni wasabi
