Pullhair Rubeye is an Experimental Folk album that was recorded by married couple Avey Tare (who is actually Dave Portner from Animal Collective) and Kría Brekkan (who is actually Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir formerly of múm). When the album was finished, they decided to put all the tracks in reverse, and some of them also in double speed.
Although the “reversed” album does have an unusually serene quality, it just seems to be lacking depth and doesn’t offer an engaging atmosphere; and the double speed is just plain overkill.
Now with proper software people were able to edit the album so it would be heard “forward”, which I did. The “forward” version is a lot more pleasing than the “reversed” version. Some of the songs don’t have lyrics, but the ones that do, feature the enchantingly smooth childlike vocals of Kría accompanied by Avey; all this encompassed by an interesting contrast between sad melodies and sweet lyrics.
