Keyboard/electronics player for the Shadow Ring, Tim Goss. If I'd've had to guess what post-Shadow projects would sound like, it wouldn't be what Lambkin's actually done, but more like this. Goss frumps about on some synths & intones doom-filled words in a spectacularly cheerless, beetle-browed accent. There's even a dreary-minded lady assistant who reads a few lines. Recorded slightly hot & then turned way down, to give it just a dash of overdriven edge. Lots of leslie-speaker purr, bells, & quiet beeps underline the mounds of hopelessness.

There at least two different representatives of the name Twine. 1) Baltimore, Maryland's Greg Malcolm and San Diego, California's Chad Mossholder comprise a unique musical entity. Twine is the culmination of their extended history, which includes their acclaimed 2002 LP Recorder for France's Bip-Hop and their distinguished catalogue for Chicago's Hefty Records and Sweden's Komplott. Their sound contains a mysterious and unresolved quality, the result of the musical relationship which the group's two main practitioners share.
