The new album from Francis Harris (Frank & Tony / Scissor & Thread) and Gabe Hedrick, aka Aris Kindt, on Quiet Time Tapes.

On Now Claims My Timid Heart, Harris and Hedrick continue the explorations begun on Swann and Odette, crafting intimate sonic systems that nurture a quiet dialogue between their musical influences (Basic Channel, drone metal) and literary touchstones (Kafka, Sebald, Pynchon).[info sheet from distr.]

On Now Claims My Timid Heart, Harris and Hedrick continue the experiment started on Swann and Odette, crafting closed systems that promote a hushed correspondence between their sonic (Basic Channel, drone metal) and literary influences (Kafka, Sebald, Pynchon).

On this album (their first record since 2017 as well as their first release on NYC's Quiet Time Tapes), Harris and Hedrick eliminated much of music's normal dependence on physical space, instead creating hermetically sealed sonic 'rooms' where the songs can live by sending samples and loops through convolution reverb. Each of the eight tracks on Timid Heart is fundamentally, thus, a field recording from an inaccessible world.[info sheet from distr.]
