Evening Fires

The always-wonderful Ptolemaic Terrascope online has some very nice words in its Feb. 2013 reviews for the latest pair of Deep Water releases:

Evening Fires - Light from on High

"Evening Fires are a band I never tire of, on this album though they have excelled themselves, their finest moment, a psychedelic classic that should be enjoyed on a regular basis."

and

Brother Ong - Deep Water Vibration

"...sparkles with inner light, delicate notes dancing in a sacred pool of sound, allowing your troubles to float away, at least for a while."

A pair of great reviews from Mr. Atavist:

Brother Ong - Deep Water Vibration

"Whether the trips are inner or otherworldly, Brother Ong makes them both rooted, exotic and reachable with the choice of tools and a light-handed, and at times fleeting, touch."

Evening Fires - Light from on High

"With a catalog that is as diverse, cohesive and enriching as anyone peddling that old-time rural acid rock, Evening Fires have made it very clear who has salvation and who is hawking watered down snake oil."

...Deep Water should be justly proud of these releases, a perfect quartet of albums that are inventive, playful, varied and well worth picking up, great stuff all round.

Dead Sea Apes - Lupus

...blissed out drone that whispers of high magic, sounding like it was recorded in a sacred cave deep underground, just add flickering candlelight and headphones for the full effect...

Evening Fires - Flora and Fauna, and After the End of the World

...soaring and melodic psychedelia that seemingly goes on forever, but never too long, the players listening to each other and reacting accordingly to create some of the most elegant and free-flowing music you will hear...

Brother Ong - Deep Water Creation

...deeply reflective and positive in its energies ... the five tracks creating a soft pool of notes that it is easy to relax in, the rippling notes dancing around your vision, flecked with light...

When I hear micro-label, I think of a result that is hand-crafted, something that values process just as much the end product, ingredients that can be as natural as they are modern and a concern for quality over quantity. That fits not only Deep Water Acres, but the sounds they are releasing. ...

Brother Ong - Deep Water Creation

Exotic and hypnotic sounds are looped, tweaked and set free to lure you into a space where you can simply go for the ride and stretch out, or you can get lost in the subtle and subversive details that reveal themselves with repeated visits. ...

Enumclaw - Painted Valley of the Mineral Monks

Enumclaw collapses the modern sounds, and tools, into a gentle cadence of throbs and emanations that are seemingly free of gravity, without meandering or slipping into electro-noodling. ...

Psychic Frost

Cinematic in scope and cosmic in size without the bombast, Psychic Frost manage to steer their sonic exodus into something personal without cutting short the inner and outer voyages. ...
