Natural Snow Buildings

NSB play experimental psychedelic folk/drone/ambient, and they're really something. They formed in 1997, and released a slew of albums throughout the years, something like 19. Both members also release solo music, as Isengrind and TwinSisterMoon, both are awesome.

Natural Snow Buildings are the perfect listening for a cold, dark winter night. They can create some really beautiful music. They're a tough band from a collector's point of view as they release so many albums so I only just dip into them occasionally.

It being Sunday, I´ve played quite a lot of music today, but I haven´t heard anything as beautiful or eerie as these two clips from a band that´s completely new to me.That´s the great thing about MB - dip into the right place and suddenly there´s a wonderful gem of music waiting to be discovered.

Many thanks, Mondo B and Zero !

EDIT, one week later:

On Youtube, there´s lots of great music from NSB, and here´s a live clip that shows how they go about their business.

Very often with concert material you think, "Wow, I wish I´d been there !", though with these guys, my reaction was, "Wow, I´m glad I´m listening to this at home!" I suppose, as befits two French university students, there´s an excruciating, existential quality about their performance which, unless you´re in some special exalted mood, makes it pretty demanding for the audience. This clip,for instance, is part one of five, and I wonder who amongst us would´ve cared to sit through the entire proceedings...
