Während Guapo-Gründer und UnicaZürn-Kollaborateur David J. Smith an einem Film zu den Stücken seines letzten Stargazer’s Assistant-Albums arbeitet, erscheint deren 2013er Doppel-10″ “Mirrors & Tides, Shivers & Voids” nun erstmals komplett auf CD. Das Werk war eine Weiterführung der bereits 2008 erschienenen “Shivers and Voids”-EP um drei in neuer Besetzung aufgenommene Stücke. Die neue CD erscheint in 300er Auflage bei Zoharum.

“Eyes closed, ears wide open, we are given freedom to dream the void. Sweeping, intricate, sometimes ominous yet always exuding a warmth and depth of emotion, The Stargazer’s Assistant produces pure cinema of sound. For this record David J. Smith (Guapo) is joined by Circle vocalist Mika Rättö’, who sings on the heartbreaking “Coral Butterfly”. David also had the honour of playing the late Finnish jazz drummer Edward Vesala’s Sound & Fury collection of unique metal percussion. Ancient forests, vast plains, billowing clouds, rusted metal hulks, wet rock walls, light flickering in dark: these are the subtle visions of The Stargazer’s Assistant. Originally released on Utech Records in 2013 as a double 10” vinyl this recording is now available for the first time on CD. ”
