The title of Pelicagnosis is no empty play on words. These four tracks do venture quite some distance into the realm of gnosis. Here is a blend of ambient sounds with addition of guitar, vocals, and other instruments, resulting in a feast for the ears.
A look at the credits for each track will show you that this isn't a weekend warrior laptop production. This thing is big, and there's a depth and devotion being expressed here that merits a deep and devoted listening.
mayfairgrin is part of the Mannequin Oddio Media cooperative, which you ought to visit and explore. This is mayfairgrin's second release on Webbed Hand Records.

Note: on the CD liner, all of the instruments on track 01 "pelicagnosis" were credited to Andrew Latham. To clarify, he was the recordist and not the musician of the flute. The flute was performed by an unknown Native American musician.

Amazing
Simply beautiful and amazing music from Mayfairgrin... Wonderful electronic manipulation of otherwise normal sounds provides some of the best combinations of dark and surreal travels you can find in music today!

A continually morphing, unfolding aural adventure. Suffused with spirituality-- the more you listen, the more you get--
