Sir Tad - Two Walkers
The sounds from Tynan Krakoff are special. Having your own “out there” style, being consistent in some manner, being beautifully fluid, and being completely alluring for listeners…. very difficult to achieve. Sir Tad bends sounds to fold the sonic fringes neatly. Crafting again, another sublime thought melter on the new cassette release Two Walkers.
Very nice to have a few creative aspects to describe when writing about music. Two Walkers blurs drone and spoken word to spark the mind at different levels. One pleasing aspect of the sounds from Sir Tad is the true form they resonate with. Nothing seems polished. Static and garbling samples of playful youth interjecting over the unprocessed drone of different instruments. There is an exciting randomness to everything. Like you were listening in on a wavering frequency broadcasting a school concert from another dimension. A place where sounds slink and gurgle, a place foreign to the forefront of thought but nestled deeply in the subconscious of our primordial beginnings. Fortunately, this setting has a sphere touching Jamaica, because Two Walkers gets the irie going on with two versions of “Path to the Dutchie”. So, saying nothing seems polished is how the singular moment we listen is conveyed. As a whole composition, Two Walkers is very burnished. Sir Tad has a very deliberate approach and should perk ears noticing how organic can be so sophisticated.
Released on Tynan Tapes Temporal in a very limited cassette run of forty-one editions. Copies are currently available. Lost in a Sea of Sound had the pleasure to listen and describe the 2022 Sir Tad release titled You’re Home. This composition has the roots for Two Walkers, but the newest release is a little more tranquilizing for these ears. You decide!
