The Roots of Orchis - Contorted Face of Mercury
Two basses twist together, playing out a deep, low groove. Chimes are heard in the distance. Up come the drums. Oh, Contorted Face of Mercury, what secrets do you hold? You twist back upon yourself, with grace and elegance. A snake stalks its prey, prepares to strike. Taughtly coiled, all energy and wicked intelligence.
The Roots of Orchis hint at the knowledge of good and evil, with a poison that seeps into your system, slowly drags you down into its melodic embrace. You are drawn to the drums of war. The diner bells rings, your mind a serpent’s feast.
Sounds like the love child of: The Black Heart Procession and Cal Tjader
