TwinSisterMoon 2 Discos :
TwinSisterMoon - When Stars Glide Through Solid
Label: Self Released
Released: 2007
Style: Experimental, Folk
Last year saw the re-release of Natural Snow Buildings’ stunningly beautiful “The Dance of the Moon and the Sun.” Quite a beast, and definitely one of my personal favorites. Unfortunately, less than 20 copies were sent out. Thankfully, the wonderful Tiliqua label will be releasing it (again) as a 4xLP with an extra side-long track. Killer, right? I think so.
This is the first solo work by Mehdi Ameziane (the female in NSB,) another criminally limited album (edition of 30,) under the moniker “TwinSisterMoon.” As gorgeous as you’d expect, perhaps a bit more folk based, with some blissed out space moments here and there as well.
All tracks composed and recorded at home (Vitre, France) on 8 tracks between March and may of 2006. Drawings and layout by Solange Gularte.
Mehdi Ameziane: voice, acoustic guitar, effects, tampura, banjoline (sometimes bowed,) and tambourine.
Special thanks to Hemptimes for the recording and the text.

twinsistermoon ~ the hollow mountain (ultra hard gel 2009)
“Twinsistermoon is Mehdi from Natural Snow Buildings, the male counterpart of this beloved French folk/drone duo who’s gentle, otherworldly voice often has him confused with a little pixie lady that lives in some spectral forest glade with a battalion of fiercely protective woodland animals. This recording errs more towards tender, cracked & psychedelic pagan folk entwined with earthy samples/field recordings than any neo-drone or tonal affair, most probably the stuff folk who are into this mystical Gallic couple are most enamored with anyway. I cannot possibly do this album much justice in words, the sweet, woozy tracks are delicate, quietly meandering & personal affairs that demand your absolute full attention, the lo-fi recording technique used here gives the music such a rich & rustic personality i’m not surprised at the ever growing cult of fanatics their music. Comes with cracking 8” Sq. art booklet by Solange who casually chucks in some cello work on a track too! Plus there’s a 40 minute unreleased bonus track!!” norman records
