**Rustling, haptic "blues" abstractions. RIYL Bellows, KYE records, Jason Lescalleet, Ekoplekz. Edition of 300 in spot gloss jacket.** Pale Dawn Creeps marks a rare solo vinyl outing for Kyle Eyre Clyd, an artist whose work bridges the worlds of sound art, drone, and field recording. Known for her subtle manipulations of environmental and electronic sources, Clyd crafts a sonic landscape that is both intimate and expansive. Across the album, layers of sustained tones, distant echoes, and microscopic detail coalesce into a meditative whole, evoking the liminal spaces between night and morning.
The record’s pacing is deliberate, inviting the listener into a state of heightened attention. Each side unfolds as a slow-motion narrative, where every shift in timbre or resonance feels significant. There are affinities here with the work of Christina Kubisch, Celer, and the early minimalism of Eliane Radigue, but Clyd’s approach is uniquely personal—rooted in lived experience and a deep sensitivity to place.
Pale Dawn Creeps is more than an ambient record; it is an invitation to listen deeply, to inhabit the spaces between sound and silence. For fans of environmental music, drone, and the American experimental tradition, this LP is a quietly powerful statement.
