I've gushed about Tim Hecker way way too much here on MOG. He's my favourite musician. I find his deconstructions of musical elements to be moving and deeply inspirational. Like I've written elsewhere, it sounds like either remembering or forgetting, or some kind of recorded stream of that process happening in someone or even in a landscape, like an architecture remembering its future. But this...

Here is the other side of Atlas.These tracks are quite a bit more intimate and close than the huge oceanic expanse of his last album.

Industrial yard lights spire up into the frozen sky, shimmering a quiet hymn to the groaning aurora borea...
