On their third album, Henry Birdsey's New England collective submerge windswept Americana in dense, oddly-tuned dronescapes, meditating on folk's origins and future eventualities by stirring banjo and slide guitar phrases with abyssal reeded wails and grungy tape loops.
Best known for his subterranean work with Zach Rowden as Tongue Depressor, Birdsey is one of the New England scene's most prolific operatives. 'Dissection Maps' comes only moments after last year's mossy 'Sewn the Name', and picks up where its predecessor left off. There's a different cast this time around (though how many of the contributors are Birdsey's pseudonyms we can't tell you), but the result is largely similar. Birdsey (or J.M. Eagle) plays banjo, pedal steel, bagpipes and resonator guitar, and takes the lead throughout, jangling over Ann Rowlis' organ, bells and rattles on opener 'Sleeps With Dice', the album's straightest nod to its roots. Things start to disintegrate on 'Singing Loom' when the discernible riffs are traded for magickal sustained tones that seem to melt into one another. It's not clear exactly what instrument is playing or when, but Addison Starkweather-Price's harmonica is a constant, and we're sure we can hear bagpipes in there somewhere.
Reana Doram steps in to add ghostly hammered dulcimer chimes to the gusty 'Dealt in Silver', playing against Grainger Farnsworth's doom-y electric bass punctuations and Rowlis's chilling organ and bells, and she shows up again on the mind-bending closer 'Last Rings', adding galloping rhythms to Ryder Tarbox's fluttering tape loops.
