the nether dawn is arguably the most narcotic, most ethereal of the many guises of the ever-prolific and talented antony milton. for the unfamiliar few, milton runs the sainted pseudoarcana label out of his native new zealand and records as myrtu!, a.m., paintings of windows, clay man in the well, swagger jack and as a member of claypipe, with throats as fine as needles, the stumps, glory fckn sun and more. running through all of his projects is something of a dreamlike, nostalgic delirium that is concretized and distilled on "long shadow of a dream."

the recordings on "long shadow of a dream" date from 2004-2006. despite this temporal span they seem like they've emerged organically from the same eternal, humming tapestry of sound. the album's final track is, unquestionably, its apex and it contains what are perhaps the most soul-baring, cathartic moments which milton has committed to tape. here, antony's vision becomes nearly visible in its mammoth totality - howling whisps of feedback, billows of keyboard and loops conjoin with voice and throat in ecstatic communion. the aural landscape of milton's nether dawn will utterly entrance and beguile you and, in the end, it will surely devour you whole.
