Pure Enchantment - Humid Misterioso
Sounds changing with each bend in the river, like a soundtrack to the book Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Charles Marlow with a melodic description of subtle energy emanating from the early morning light breaking across the water. Lost in the tangled underbrush of sonic vines, cicada and train whistles are amorphous beacons in the distance. These sounds are somehow ancient, like an undisturbed tribe living on the Congo, exploration fueled by curiosity and discovery. All encompassing both the serene calmness of daily life and the frenzy of fire side ritual. Ed Wilcox and Turner Williams are the artists under the project Pure Enchantment. Their composition Humid Misterioso takes on many forms. Five tracks close to forty minutes, from sparse and measured harmonic patience, to fully radiated delirious jams, these selections are fused behemoths. Echoes of a Klezmer band tour in the middle east, scalding cups of mint tea both sipped and enjoyed, some thrown in fury and angst. Th
