More limited lathe loveliness, this time from Van Coeur who’ve just commissioned the folks over at 345rpm to hand cut just 10 copies of a rather a spiffing twin track seven inch that pairs together ‘the evil twin’ and ‘valley’. Both these cuts comes graced in a brooding huskiness,’the evil twin’ in particular emerging through a shadow forming fog, you can feel the breath of the in / exhaling melodies upon you, not so much macabre rather more bruised, head bowed as though a confessional as it skirts distantly around a sparsely hollowed motif that’s not a million miles from the Palace Brothers. ‘Valley’ walks a similarly tortured path, the weight of its burden almost crushing the melodies into a back breaking submission to pour forth a weariness that’s very much reminiscent of a ‘three’ era Black Heart Procession, stunning if you ask me. https://endless-records.bandcamp.com/album/the-evil-twin-valley
