mwvm - Rotations

Debut album from England's unsung indie-ambient guitar

experimenter.

mwvm’s pieces are carved out of haunting glissando melodies that intertwine through layers of harmonics, warm swells, & textured static

For fans of Star of the Lid, Eluvium, Polmo Polpo, GYBE, Aarktica etc

here are a few words describing the album

  Quote

"it's a thing of beauty for sure....Walton's work is ever static: as its various strata shift in and out of phase, new patterns and new harmonic information is magically conjured." THE WIRE

 

"Timeless melodies wash across degraded industrial ambiance, pointing towards influences such as Labradford's seminal "Prazision" LP and Wolfgang Voigt's grand, lulling passages under his GAS moniker... mwvm has created a body of work that is beautiful, strange and haunting" - angryape

 

"mwvm will appeal to fans of Stars of the Lid and Eluvium...recommended 7.5/10" - maelstrom

 

 

"songs share common traits with the calmest & dreamiest parts of post rock bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor or The Silver Mt. Zion. Bands like Stars of the Lid, If Thousands, and Eluvium...shares common characteristics with ambient, post rock, and even some noisier moments, but it all gels together nicely for one enjoyable experience I suggest you check out...8/10" - Lunar Hypnosis

 

"This album stands out as a panacea to the remaining dependence on rock that even the far left of post-rock still retains...this is mwvm inspiring the rest of the crowd" - brainwashed

 

"a lovely effort all around....from the early experiments of Robert Fripp and Brian Eno...3.5/5" - allmusic.com

 

"This record can serve as the soundtrack for a hypnotic trance...." - eufonia

 

"“Rotations” is a delightful album that reminds us directly of the music of Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai and Fear Falls Burning....beautifully spun out guitar drones..." - Gothtronic

 

"I’ve not heard a better soundtrack all year. Highly recommended to snorecore enthusiasts, aerobic cybernauts and fans of Eno’s ambient period..." - Terrascope

 

"mwvm = Stars of the Lid + Keith Fullerton Whitman....Rotations is an undeniably enjoyable listen," - slugmag

 

"When I played this CD I kept thinking: Eno, Fripp, Fear Falls Burning, Hypnos, Stars Of The Lid.... it's nice, it's entertaining, it's atmospheric, it's beautiful....simply enjoy the beauty of it.... 'Rotations' is certainly a beautiful album" - Vitalweeky.net

 

"Rotations features the kind of classy, odd ambient stuff that has made the Silber label a household name....slow, methodical, and dreamy....Wonderful sounding rich stuff... Recommended." - babysue

"This album cannot be ignored....ou don't float with Rotations, you drown in it, twisting and writhing. The immediacy of each melodic and harmonic theme enveloping the listener within each track and the album as a whole" - daeitmasel
