Bandcamp pick of the week: Rameses III - Parsimònia (Deluxe)

Rameses III have just issued a retrospective of their classic ambient / folk / drone period, which includes the rare Jozepha and Parsimònia EPs, 11 previously unreleased tracks including a completely new EP, all tracks from the 'Matanuska' and 'Basilica (Origins)' albums and all tracks from the 'Honey Rose', 'For José María' and (the previously unreleased) 'Sartoris' EPs.

With 'Parsimònia' and 'Matanuska' Rameses III finally jettisoned the traditional song format, almost every track becoming a semi-improvised but tightly edited loose swirl of sound. Often recording large sections together in a single take, the band made heavy use of bowed and EBow electric guitar, warped Mellotron, acoustic guitar, electronics and Tibetan singing bowl.

Rameses III are Spencer Grady, Stephen Lewis and Daniel Thomas Freeman.
