Lost Tribe Sound I've wanted this album for a while now. It's hard to go wrong with the work of Eric Skodvin. When combined with Aaron Moore, they make for a strange pair. It's definitely the most concrete I've ever heard Skodvin sound, delivering upon darker jazz-like offerings paired with somewhat gothic electro-acoustic abstractions. The most enjoyable moment for me comes with the clobbering rhythmics found in "Grown Horse". More of whatever that is, please.

Peter Hollo Such an unexpected collaboration, and such a pleasure. Skodvin's sound design and cello rubbing up against Moore's unique songwriting and sonic constructions. Favorite track: Furland.

about

"Instead of rain I bring a hat" is a long-distance collaboration between the UK’s Aaron Moore (Volcano The Bear, Gospel Of Mars, duo with Alan Courtis) and Norwegian Erik K Skodvin (Svarte Greiner, Deaf Center, B/B/S). It developed gently, taking its full form over the space of nearly 6 years.

The project began with e-mail exchanges of fragmented sounds and ideas - on the piano, cello, drums, harp, vocals, homemade and electronic instruments. Their experimental correspondence eventually blossomed and grew into an exquisite, fully-fledged album of brooding cinematic compositions.

Through 7 songs, Moore and Skodvin lead us through complex, haunted, minimalistic pieces. They are surreal, sonically fascinating and deeply moving. A very special and original album in both its conception and result - definitely one of a kind in the HITD discography
