Dropped Pianos

this new and welcomely out of the blue tim hecker release is composed of sketch pieces recorded in 2010 in preparation for what would become the outstanding 'ravedeath, 1972' album. all of the compositions are piano driven and minimal in nature. this is not a new tim hecker album, but rather a peek behind the curtains into the working process. that these pieces stand on their own as compelling soundworks is a testament to the fact that tim hecker is at the absolute top of his game at the moment, and has been for years.
