A further extrapolation of mysterious noise, minimalist acoustic picking & strumming, percussive clatter and occasional abstract vocal utterances from The Franciscan Hobbies. This loosely-bound satellite of the Jewelled Antler Collective weave a dense carpet of moss, sticks and grass on the forest floor with harps, banjos, cumbus oud, bowed-things, organ, bouzouki, broken guitars, gongs, bells and drums. Imagine Throbbing Gristle's Heathen Earth performed by an Appalachian Mountain folk group. Masks & Meanings is their second missive; features members of Thuja, The Blithe Sons, The Buried Civilizations, Ov and The Skygreen Leopards.
