Synopsis

Album Description
A lovely album about small memorials often seen along the roadside in the Southwest. "Jim Fox?s latest piece inhabits the same haunted soundscape as his 2004 release The City The Wind Swept Away ? the unconventional scoring (pizzicato bass and nine bowed cellos) produces a sort of lush bleakness that evokes the windswept open spaces of the American West. Perhaps Descansos evokes the strange roadside memorials that gave Fox his title, but to these Eastern ears, it is reminiscent of the brooding lyricism of England?s Gavin Bryars. This is a music that seems to linger even after the recording itself has ended." ? New Sounds
