(4-track EP/ 2002)
Trilemma member Pete, first things first, is THE kindest guy. See, I don't have a record player in working order and 3-piece Trilemma focus their efforts on releasing their material as much as possible on vinyl. So they sent me a record unknowing of my situation, and now the 'Crowded Wilderness' hamper on CD once I embarrassingly admitted I couldn't play the record at all, Sam.
This is romanticised lo-fi, sold to sensitive listeners with lovely, subtle melodies, the beauty of 'Finite Things' out-starring the click-click lo-fi of EP-opener 'Sorrow Passim.' The lyrics are sheer poetry as gushed in 'Satellite Town' (with 'rusting pylons spitting through the fog�'), before 'March April Dismay reaffirms Trilemma's love for all things slow, serene and sumptuous.
They have much to say, and beauty to play - please listen. (STEVE RUDD)
