Summer Evaporated by Milieu
Unexpectedly, much like the previous catalog entry Wind Over Hill, Summer Evaporated emerged as a tangential exploration of an outtake from the recently completed sessions for an album called Daughter. It felt appropriate to append this release to Psoma 6 as an extension, as it once again addresses the changing of seasons - something that has far more weight and dynamism living here in an Ohio valley, than it did (or didn't) in the Carolinian subtropics. Evaporated is a more (more?) minimalistic exercise than Wind, echoing the lethargy at the end of warm months, a resignation to the cool air, burnt leaves and fading greenery.
Into the welcoming arms of Autumn, bountiful cornucopia of orange hue and cinnamon smoke, melted down around the sun-cast apples of Summer. Open a window, lie down with an old paperback and listen to the sound of the sunshine dissolving into perfumes of dust and hiss, fertilizing the Earth as it sleeps beneath the soil...
