Out of stock

*120 copies limited edition.* A spell to slow down time, a drawing back of the veil between worlds, the way that a song also contains multitudes. Slow Motion Summer is a record fixated, both metaphorically and literally, on time. It draws on the way we experience time, weaving strands of recorded sound stretched and spun at a host of different speeds to both alter and extend our perception of the moment that's swirling around us. It's also a record obsessed with the secret world, with the infinite possible ghostly echoes and iterations of any given thing, any given instant, any given piece of music - that all lie churning and spectral, just beyond our awareness. In many ways, this is the album, the hidden chamber, that Jakob has been working to uncover their entire life.

"The circle is the declaration of sacred ground. It is a place set apart, although its material location may be a living room or a backyard. But in the mind the circle, reinforced by the actions of casting it and purifying it, becomes sacred space, a place "between the worlds" where contact with archetypal reality, with the deep places of the mind - with "gods," if you will - becomes possible. It is a place where time disappears, where history is obliterated. It is the contact point between two realities." - Margot Adler, Drawing Down the Moon
