Having been hailed as “exquisite” by The Music Connection, “atmospheric” by The LA Weekly and “an intriguing treat” by CMJ magazine, The Telling EP burst into the indie air like a glowing comet and then disappeared. - Indie distribution wasn't anything like it is today. That's why we love CD Baby! Inspired by 4 AD and Eno collaborations, Sheri Swanson (also known as Eris) and Don Swanson partnered with electronic composer, Richard Burmer to engineer their first recording that was released on their own label, In Praesenti. Listening to everything from Prokofiev to Pink Floyd, the two combined layers of ambient electronics with evocative vocals conjuring a unique sound unlike other LA bands at the time. Using tape loops and samples, the three came up with audio ideas that ended up in several sound libraries. KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic” were the first to embrace the EP, placing “Sand Mass “ in rotation, and then “Ghost of Tokyo” made it into many top ten lists. The Telling formed in the late 80’s as an avant rock band, performing in clubs and art galleries with dreamy, abstract multi-media. Eventually, they evolved into a duo in order to have more flexibility and artistic freedom. They relaeasd two other albums, “Blue Solitaire”, Music West, 1990, and “Glimmer Field”, 1998, In Praesenti.
