The Spires Double Releases

In addition, The Spires will also be releasing Absent Minded Window Gazing, a five-song collection of tracks from Curved Space, that has been reimagined and remixed by the mysterious Grafton.

Absent Minded Window Gazing is a conscience departure from the original efforts recorded by The Spires on Curved Space. All songs were reimagined by a mysterious source named Grafton who prefers to take his success in anonymity - there exists absolutely no clue as to whom this could be. The dissident rouge beautifully transports the original music of The Spires to a parallel time and space removing it from the context of glorious plaster walled Californian pop.

Painted with the sundry colors of warm, minimalist soundscapes, little remains of the original tunes save for the echoed voice of Jason Bays here and Colleen Coffey's pounding drum set there. The most obvious nod to Curved Space comes in "Four" as the song immediately starts with a deep, chilled groove and the refrain of "Held". Absent Minded Window Gazing is a perfect, succinct study of its predecessor albeit one with a very little sense of allegiance.
