Album DescriptionBlack Hill is the third release from the UK's finest exponents of "melancholic experimentalism" As well as the core membership of founder Michael Begg and his main collaborator Deryk Thomas, this release features well-poised contributions from Begg's special guests; Julia Kent (Antony & the Johnsons, Blind Cave Salamander) Fabrizio Palumbo (Larsen, Blind Cave Salamander) David Tibet (current 93) Clodagh Simonds (Fovea Hex, Mellow Candle) Black Hill, although in many ways far gentler than previous HG albums, packs a significant punch. Part nightmare train journey to a bruised and foreboding underworld, part voyage beyond the alluring tails of shooting stars to an aching void of longing, it may prove to be Begg's sullen masterpiece.
