Description

This is a rare vinyl test pressing of the Dais Records release of Drew McDowall's 2018 album The Third Helix


“A product of ritual, conceptual immersion, ‘The Third Helix’ projects 8 eight hallucinatory visions conceived for ritual immersion on the listener’s behalf, unravelling relatively simple units of sound into 3D webs of entrancing complexity along unfathomable spatial coordinates. Depending your tolerance for vivid nightmares and psychotropic substances, the effect of the album will vary from user to user, but in ideal conditions - dark room, inebriated, at night - it’s likely to induce the rarest sensations and push the most intent ears to the brink." - Boomkat
