Twine: "Endormie" (Violets, Ghostly International 2008)

It's been a while since Twine last released new material, but Chad Mossholder is currently involved in an audio collaboration with Mark Amerika as part of a residency for the Centre for Creative Arts in Melbourne, Australia. You can hear their collaboration by skipping through the player on the lower right of the CCA homepage.

altimore, Maryland’s Greg Malcolm and Boulder, Colorado’s Chad Mossholder comprise a unique musical entity. Because of their physical distance, their collaboration is held in the virtual realm and their music contains a mysterious and unresolved quality. Having recorded for labels such as Bip-Hop (France), Hefty (USA) and Komplott (Sweden) and performed live all over this world, they have quickly

found themselves in the pantheon of American producers in the abstract field. Their recordings for Ghostly, including 2003’s Self-Titled LP and 2008’s brilliant Violets, they continue their moody soundscapes, this time augmented by the etherial moans of distant female voices. Comparisons to artists such as Cocteau Twins and Fennesz can be made, but Twine’s sound is entirely their own.

[ C.W.Mossholder (Twine) - Endormie featuring Alison Shaw of The Cranes ]

Music: C.W.Mossholder of Twine

Video Directed and Edited by: C.W.Mossholder

The video for Twine’s “Endormie”– an appropriately watery visual analogue to the song’s submerged ambience – recently debuted on Pitchfork.tv. Twine’s Chad Mossholder directed the clip, which features a breathtaking string of processed, abstracted imagery – light glinting off a pond, flocks of birds silhouetted against the sky, farms and beaches – whose ebbs and flows match the song’s dewy guitars drop for drop. The song itself, a standout track from the duo’s recent Violets LP, owes much of its otherworldly appeal to Alison Shaw (vocalist for UK cult band Cranes) whose childlike coos float above the track, giving it a human face, albeit a Ghostly one.
