Poemss vinyl

Last seen contributing a soporific album to the Mu cause under his lesser spotted Last Step guise, the new Poemss project with Joanne Pollock sees Aaron Funk discard the hard-edged, drum-driven sound people associate with his Venetian Snares project in favour of what the label describe as "a collection of soft and dreamlike ballads". Apparently recorded over the course of three months at Funk's Winnipeg-based studio last year, the Poemss project sees both artists take a hands on approach, contributing to the "writing and performance of the music, the technical aspects of production and to the performance and treatment of the vocals". It's certainly a departure for Funk, but Planet Mu fans who liked last year's albums from Heterotic and Miracle will love this.
