Sound Holes is the shortest (2:13) recording on Halve Maen, an album of beautifully creepy drone music from Double Leopards. The average length of the remaining seven tracks is close to nine minutes.
Hisses and strange eerie pulsating tones surround us, drawing us down a sound hole into a bleak terrain of misty shadows and twilight trails that lead nowhere. It would be a great soundtrack for The Upside Down from Stranger Things or the video game, Limbo. There is no sunshine here.
I found out that Halve Maen is Dutch for Half Moon, and Halve Maen was a ship in the Dutch East India Company during the 1600s. I'm not sure if there's a connection. Henry Hudson sailed the ship into New York (New Amsterdam), and Double Leopards were from New York, but that's all I got, folks.
