Bardspec Streaming "Bone"
Today another track comes online from the debut album "Hydrogen" by Bardspec, the ambient project featuring Enslaved guitarist Ivar Bjørnson and Today Is The Day's Steve Austin.
"Bone" in Bjørnson's words is, "a song that is a meditation upon the concepts of strength and endurance, in the micro and the macro. How evolution has made us upright and made to be on the move - and how hard it can be to adapt those features into the realms of our psyche - so that we can undergo the mental evolution that is dormant within us."
This idea of micro and macro represents the very essence of Bardspec, which is thematically and sonically about minimizing, subtracting and meditating upon the simplest essence of "things;" the single points, exemplified through the song titles like "Bone," "Salt" and so on; the basic elements and foundations that make up the whole. There is an element of "space" in the music and the artwork, as a representation of the inner workings of the mind and the subconscious.
"Hydrogen" will be released on June 23rd across all formats, with previous song "Fire Tongue" available over here. More...
