"In order to see this beauty, one must risk everything and perhaps be a little mad. Stunningly enunciated by Richard Knox & Frédéric D. Oberland's nuanced approach to songwriting." THE SILENT BALLET 8/10 "an album that’s elegiac, achingly beautiful and every bit as stark as the polar landscape that inspired the recording." WHISPERIN & HOLLERIN 9/10 "sometimes bleak, sometimes discordant, but always powerful" FLUID RADIO "an accomplished, evocative musical voyage through the vast arctic seas and beyond" ROCK-A-ROLLA |
450 km from the arctic circle, 'The Rustle of the Stars' is a phenomenon of austere beauty, a barely audible noise that occurs when the draught from human breath causes multiple collisions among the ice micro-crystals in the air. A collaboration between Richard Knox (Glissando / A-Sun Amissa) & Frederic D. Oberland (FareWell Poetry, The Freemartin Calf), 'The Rustle of the Stars' is an audio journey through the North Pole explorer diaries and brings to mind the music of the likes of Set Fire to Flames and the Rachels,
