BADGERLORE – Of Things Too Sorrowful To Be Reminded Of And Things Too Beautiful To Possess

"Badgerlore's first full-length emits the whisper of a fragmented forest. Alternating heartrending drone and quietly affecting folk carved by taciturn hermits, Of Things Too Sorrowful to be Reminded of, and Things Too Beautiful to Possess speaks through distant symbols, inky clouds, and thin pine-needle patterns on the floor. According to the sliver of black paper attached to the scorched-leaf sleeve, Rob Fisk and Ben Chasny spent five or so years collecting the spare coal-scented sounds contained here: written in Alaska and California, they recorded each section in California on a 4-track between 1998-2003 with only a couple of overdubs, using two guitars, two amplifiers, an organ, a violin, and miscellaneous bells and sticks." - Brandon Stosuy
