A Stick And A Stone - The Long Lost Art Of Getting Lost (2017)

On his third full-length album under the eclectic moniker A Stick and A Stone, composer, bassist, and vocalist Elliott Harvey and viola player/ “album co-conspirator" Myles Donovan (Disemballerina, Negative Queen, Ominous Cloud Ensemble) explore new sludgy, tumultuous terrain while retaining the signature elements of ethereal harmonies, haunting vocals, and potent lyricism equated with Harvey's previous work. "The Long Lost Art of Getting Lost" dives into the shadows of this age, upholding the power of resilience amidst times of uncertainty. Harvey, a transgender male with a distinctively androgynous vocal range, is no stranger to carving his way through uncharted territory as a musician. A Stick and a Stone's unusual style arises from blending paradoxical essences; on this album, gritty bass merges with elegant strings, rugged howls are echoed by graceful whispers, heavy drums are laced with ghostly soundscapes - to materialize in the end an unquestionable modern minimalistic doom masterpiece of our times.
