Two Dark Birds - Black Blessed Night (Von Wildenhaus Remix)

Steve Koester is a folk singer who’s darknesses and frailty is worn on his sleeve, the kind of sorcery you get from living a life in old mountains like the Catskills. He’s got a beautiful album out last year called Songs for the New, and now decided to ask his bandmates to reimagine a few of those tunes.  One of my favorite weirdos, Ben von Wildenhaus plays keys for him and took this tun to the edge and back, pitch-shifting it into a beast of gnarled perportions turning it into what sounds like a soundtrack song to a David Lynch film. I love it.

See the band on Tumblr here, Ben’s right here.  Get the Black Blessed Night EP on January 10th from Riot Bear Recording Co.
