The distinctive trio Huntsville continues to impress on their fourth album, clearly the group's most atmospheric and monumental release so far. The excursion into an ever-darker landscape that began with the critically acclaimed LP 'For Flowers, Cars and Merry Wars' continues here.
'Past Increasing, Future Receding' was recorded in the artist Emanuel Vigeland's Mausoleum at Slemdal in Oslo: a dimly lit - almost entirely dark - barrel-vaulted room. Even the most tentative sound evokes an enormous acoustic response in the Mausoleum. For the members of Huntsville, the overwhelming acoustics of the room became a sort of fourth member of the band while they were recording this album. The music feels more hypnotic and visually evocative than on earlier albums, and demands the full attention of the listener.
The album was the result of three intense working days with sound technician Thomas Hukkelberg. This time, too, the band mixed the album at Propeller Studio together with Kare Chr Vestrheim (Motorpsycho, Jaga Jazzist).
