Max & Harvey

Max & Harvey are a couple of mysterious producers who have delivered a gorgeous 10" that confounds all expectations. Housed in a perfectly realised 1950's library-file sleeve, this well limited slice of vinyl is home to some rimy, textured and fantastically atmospheric music - bringing together acoustic fragments, thrumming percussion and heart-ache strings to create the kind of lilting auditory balm that is both soothing yet piquantly exhilarating. Draped with distant velvetine vocals, it would be all to easy to sprial down hyperbole avenue when describing 'Sleep' and 'Untitled Dialogue' - so we'll leave it at this; it's fucking gorgeous.
