Press

“So gorgeous. Absolutely one of our favorite new records, a practically perfect fade-out-drift-off-drone-dream-disc ... Best drone record of the year? Quite possibly...”

— Aquarius Records

“This is drone at its most capacious and its most beautiful. It's the sort of thing that would be at home on the next interstellar space probe, nestled next to Bach and Beethoven, to show whoever's listening the breadth of our collective musical experience.”

— Sound Advice

“Impale Golden Horn, Chapel Hill, North Carolina multi-instrumentalist Jenks Miller’s debut full-length as a solo artist, is one of the finest drone discs I’ve encountered in some time. ”

— Signal to Noise

“'Finale' is a pretty brazen debut for Chapel Hill noisician Jenks Miller, an ebow-chugging mix of ever-overlapping drones and shimmering squall. Calling it 'Finale'—even though it’s the first track on the record—was as obvious a choice as, say, 'Exit Music (For A Film)' or 'Ascension.'”

— Paper Thin Walls

“[Impale Golden Horn] is a shimmering gem ... four tracks of layered drone that gains a drum-beat at times and morphs into something resembling dream pop. While the record occasionally steeps in a meditative stasis, some points verge on Sigur Rós-style post-rock, contemplative and majestic at once.”

— The Pittsburgh City Paper

“Jenks Miller's maximalist meditation on blood coaxes a twinkling long-form guitar figure through a hedge of hymn-like hums ... it continually lifts and glides, finally bottoming out in a flurry of percussion that teases out the latent rhythm so adeptly that it sounds inevitable when it arrives.”

— Independent Weekly

“Miller's attention to detail is astonishing as he builds and deconstructs his instrumental tales. The songs lull you into a blissful dream-like state before slowly bringing you back into consciousness.”

— Sound as Language

“Though it be noise, it isn't abrasive. [Its] atonality becomes a densely layered blanket that sweeps over the listener heavily, but without smothering. The faintest hints of a melody seep through the fog from time to time, like the remnants of a pleasantly remembered dream.”

— The Daily Tarheel

“Jenks Miller created this album as a means of cathartically dealing with his OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). And while it won’t be to everyone’s liking, Horseback often makes one feel uncomfortable or unnerved, but in a very good way.”

— Popmatters

“Labeled as a drone record, "Impale Golden Horn" is nowhere about experimentation, improvisation, weirdness or snobbery. Instead it is an impressive work of composition, translating a beautiful and fragile sensitivity, the work of three years ...”

— Derives.net
