DANDELION WINE's latest album "All Becompassed by Stars" takes
the increased energy and danceability of 2008's "Selected
Anachronisms" to a new level of intensity, whilst simultaneously
featuring some of the band's most ethereal and beautiful work to
date.
The result is an album of extremes, with a distinct dichotomy
between the pounding beats of songs such as "Gravity" and the
delicate acoustic flourishes of "Early Warning Sign" or the
ambient textures of "Seven Times As Bright". However, even amid
the most intense songs, the band's trademark use of medieval and
world instruments is still clearly evident, with dulcimers, bell
cittern and flutes ringing out over the fat analogue synths, big
beats and cranked guitars.
While the band have frequently flirted with non-western rhythms
over the years, on "All Becompassed by Stars" these rhythms come
to the fore, with layers of Indian, Middle Eastern and African
percussion driving many of the songs. Adding to the Australian
duo's usual array of unconventional instrumentation are the bell
cittern (a late-medieval twelve-string instrument akin to the
mandolin) and sansula (a German variation of the African kalimba
or thumb piano).
