Psalmships: Kronotsky [Album Review]
Kronotsky by Psalmships opens with a soft hum that remains so throughout opening track “Resurrectionist”, building and growing subtly with the clash of post-rock drone meets minimalist folk. It’s a slight departure from the true minimalism of which those familiar with Josh Britton’s music know well, and it continues in “Smaller Constellation”, a song title pulled from an album Britton released under earlier moniker The Sweetheart Parade. Combining the world of drone-friendly folk with the sensibilities of ethereal minimalist drone may not seem groundbreaking, but they are in Kronotsky. The album has an eerie nature to it that is downright haunting. Read More »Psalmships: Kronotsky [Album Review]

Psalmships: Smoke + Vein [Album Review]
