Somehow this is the first Tim Hecker release I've ever heard. He's been on my radar for quite a while, and I am regretting not checking him out sooner. Virgins is an excellent record, full of bizarre orchestrations that are simultaneously organic and digital all mashed into one. It's creepy, relaxing, and beautiful--the perfect album for mid-October.
There is a heavy presence of piano on many of these songs, and it kind of makes me think this is what we would get if the song "Replica" by Oneohtrix Point Never were expanded on and made into a full album.
Also, check out that cover art. If that's not the perfect visualization of this music, I don't know what is.
