Bamboo
, the ongoing project from
Nick Carlisle
(
Peepholes
,
Don't Argue
) and
Rachel Horwood
(
Trash Kit
,
Halo Halo
) present their second studio album,
The Dragon Flies Away
. Far from being a side-project, Bamboo is very much a fully realized pursuit, with the band working on multiple records simultaneously from their Brighton and London base camps. Initially released on Crumb Cabin in a limited run of 50 cassettes in the winter 2016, with an accompanying zine designed by Horwood,
The Dragon Flies Away
tells a story loosely associated with the Hannya demon mask of Noh theatre plays such as
Dojoji
, and reflects the range of emotion the Hannya mask is capable of displaying: obsession, jealousy, sorrow, and rage.
The Dragon Flies Away
presents its story in two acts. Vivid and deeply poignant, Bamboo's music locks into a magnetic attraction between Horwood's flawlessly resonant folk cadence and Carlisle's pristine synth production. "Hannya" opens the album in a reflective mood with Rachel's mournful vocal and echoing banjo that gets swept up by flourishes of percussion and synth-flute vistas. "Always Running" follows, living up to its name with its propulsive beat and plucked rhythm, building to a chase for Rachel's dramatic vocal turn. "Like A Sparrow" is a beautifully realized track sounding as vulnerable and vociferous as a
Kate Bush
song. "Wake Up Your Heart" delights in pools of pitch-shifted melody and primal vision. Whilst the final two tracks on the album embrace Carlisle's cascading synth lines as pure as ice flows, augmented gong passages and fragile yet impassioned vocalizations. Overall the album feels film-like, with an ability to hold the listeners hand and lead them through another world. It's ambitious and heavy on concept without ever becoming overwrought, preserving its delicate personal tone and lush, spacious sound throughout. During the writing and subsequent release of their debut album,
Prince Pansori Priestess
, (UTR 075CD/LP, 2015),
The Dragon Flies Away
was recorded between Spring 2015 and Summer 2016.
