Starting with simple, stirring piano themes written by Efrim, the music swirls and sways with multiple violin tracks from Sophie and plucked contrebasse from Thierry (his first recording on upright acoustic bass). What initially began as a single long, sparse chamber piece evolved into more fully-orchestrated movements, interspersed with tapes, drones and loops, along with some vocals. Guest musicians include Aidan Girt (GY!BE, Exhaust, 1-Speed Bike), Gordon Krieger (Exhaust) and Sam Shalabi (Land Of Kush). Additional taped fragments are from Efrim’s archives, with contributions from Aidan. The resulting series of plaintive ensemble pieces shivers with intimate sadness. He Has Left Us Alone… is among the most requested records in our catalogue for film projects. The album was dedicated to Efrim’s dog Wanda.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eBroken Chords Can Sing A Little.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eSit In The Middle Of Three Galloping Dogs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eStumble Then Rise On Some Awkward Morning\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eMovie(Never Made).\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 \u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eAngels Standing Guard 'Round The Side Of Your Bed.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eong March Rocket Or Doomed Airliner\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eBlown-Out Joy From Heaven's Mercied Hole.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eFor Wanda.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":39635075793011,"sku":"","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/products\/308846.jpg?v=1638653981","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/a-silver-mt-zion-he-has-left-us-alone-but-shafts-of-light-sometimes-grace-the-corner-of-our-rooms","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
