Album DescriptionAfter a long layoff between records, which saw the band undergo a lineup change, do a couple of tours, and survive a harrowing, death-cheating tour accident, Ashen finally returned to the studio in February 2003 to commit five new songs to celluloid. With the five songs already exceeding the 30-minute mark, the band chose to put the songs out as an EP. On Pull and Repel, you'll find the same delicate vocals and dynamic sonic sound shifts that have come to define Ashen. You'll also find a band that's trying to experiment with new sounds and textures, finding that things like acoustic guitars and autoharps can complement the band's aural trademark.
