"While the sounds on Die Geister Beschwören‘s Music Feeds Stars fall
within the realm of folk music, elements of blissful psychedelia,
droning experimentation, and even pop-friendly melodies all sit
beautifully beside each other to make an experience that is equally
welcoming and challenging in its beauty. Worming through many points of
culture and time, Music Feeds Stars sounds like a group of
cosmic musical voyagers discovering earth’s history as a collection of
its more soothing and strange sounds. Field recordings serve as the
occasional segue between gaps of whimsical and sometimes jarring
electroacoustic folk, which feels equally composed and improvised. The
inclusion of dreamy effects and a member of the band performing on a saw
serves as a nice balance to the classical guitar and softly sung vocals
that drive the majority of the album. I’ve had the privilege of
seeing Die Geister Beschwören perform twice now, (they’re a Portland
band) and each performance was quite unique. It’s the spontaneity and
clear joy of creativity that make this album a welcome burst of
strangely oscillating light in these darker months. This cassette was
just issued on German label Tarkosvky Green and is worth the small investment..."
