Anahita is Tara Burke (Fursaxa) and cellist Helena Espvall (Espers). Burke recently showed up on Important Records as part of the duo of Tau Emerald with Sharron Kraus, while Espvall contributed a beautiful piece to the James Blackshaw-curated Garden of Forking Paths. Matricaria is a beautiful, laboriously created, floating affair of skeletal organ drones, ceremonial singing, and subtly frantic instrumental accompaniment that conjures up a natural woodland romp and stomp. The album was recorded between 2005 and 2008. All tracks were recorded on a four-track, then engineered by Sam Cusumano.
