"ANTLERS AND THE SUN AND ALL THE THINGS THAT GROW OLD AND PASS AWAY" by BIRD BY SNOW (LP) 1st pressing

42 minutes of deciduous songs by bird by snow, featuring special guest members of Effi Briest, Whysp, Spencer Doran (Cloaks) and Residual Echoes... just to name a few. Limited to only 300, on transparent-red vinyl, the covers of the first 75 vinyl LPs sold featured an Intaglio (copper plate) etching, hand printed by bird by snow himself. This is the only Itaglio record cover in human history (maybe)... but all 75 were sold fast, the remaining copies featured a 2 color silk-screened cover on recycled inside-out records jackets... hand printed by bird by snow himself.

{recorded at home on 4-track cassette tape.}

 

SOME PRESS FOR THIS ALBUM

"This red vinyl LP features eight gentle visionary acoustic-based personal/universal folk songs... Tender emotionally open human mystic lullabies to life, and very lovely indeed. Highly recommended." - George Parsons, (editor) Dream Magazine

"Sidereal and wintry work hewn by Fletcher Tucker & Spencer Owen... Languid and impossibly spent, musty in antiquarian repose, a funereal banjo-[as-ukelele] below blackened skies, winter-as-denouement, & sedulous mortality begetting the guile inside hibernation?..dead deer & termites, the fern host to bark beetles, BIRD BY SNOW is to folk what cave paintings are to post-expressionism - a foreshadow of gestalt whose configuration is so unified & elemental, that its properties cannot be derived ? neither by a summation of parts or even by the detritus of modern malaise that made this project necessary?.. blustery and just possibly, the New Archaic." - Mitch, DJ for KFJC Los Altos Public Radio

"There is love here. What a beautiful mass of matter this vinyl-only release is. Gorgeous. Then, ladies and earthworms - there is the music that lies beneath the delicate red grooves of sides etched 'A' and 'B'... Like full lunar orbs for eyes - digest. The reality that I understand and accept your ethereal offerings within move me to stages of frightful delight. Wooly men are barking at invisible Moons as cloaked strangers are eating their own tainted treats. The end is... . unbeknownst." - Slightly Confussing to a Stranger
