The music of Cold Specks exists somewhere between log-cabin warmth and wintry forest chill, between exquisite elegance and raw release, between young compulsion and old-soul wisdom.(pitchfork). Friends of Swans headman,Michael Gira, who is featured on Exit Plan and A Season of Doubt. Spx (yes, that is her stage name) is also featured on Swans, track "To Be Kind". A fairly dark and methodically paced album.
