Daniel O’Sullivan and Richard Youngs reunite for their second duo LP, offering two side-long pieces channelling their longtime VHF collaborations. While you'll have to wait until January to get a peep at what these two have been cooking up, we're told Persian Carpets is the glorious balm for dark and weird times, and that's enough to pique our interest in this hard-to-come-by 12". - Flying Out
Second LP of duets by these longtime VHF family staples, here delivering 2 side-long epics of “minimalist” bliss. Both sides feature Daniel on piano and Richard on zither, with rippling waves of sound recalling classics like Charlemagne Palestine’s “Strumming Music” (Dan is a frequent collaborator with C.P.) and Richard’s “Advent.” “Persian Carpets I” is a real-humans performance full of tiny variants in rhythm and attack, rising and falling in intensity – sometimes a rush of sound, sometimes a cloud of soft overtones and phantom notes. “Persian Carpets II” is more spare, with quiet and careful piano alongside Richard’s subdued accompaniment – a gorgeous bath of pointillist sound that rewards close listening. A glorious balm for dark and weird times. Superb, quiet pressing by Smashed in Chicago.
