Steve Von Till/As The Crow Flies/Neurot Recordings/2013 CD Re-Issue Review


  Steve  Von Till  is  a  musician  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  with  both  Neurosis  and  his solo  work  with  the  music  style  on  this  recording  being  neo-folk  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  2000  album  "As  The  Crow  Flies"  which  was  re-issued  by  Neurot  Records  in  the  year  of  2013.

  Drums  and  bass  playing  are  all  absent  from  this  recording,  while  the  synths  bring an  ambient  feeling  to  the  recording  when  they  are  utilized,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  bring  a  very  dark  folk  music  sound to  the  recording.

  Vocals  are  all  clean  singing  folk  rock  vocals,  while  the  lyrics  cover  Legends,  Nature,  Life,  Death  and  Depression,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful  and  dark  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  and  vocals that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  some  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  this  was  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Steve  Von  Till  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  artist,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "We  All  Fail"  "Warning  Of  A  Storm"  and  "Shadows  In  Stone".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
