Audiopile Review: New pressing of a Jon Collin LP that was issued earlier this year via Italian boutique imprint Laboratorio Palestro in a tiny edition of 100 copies. We blinked and missed that one. Most of you did.Thankfully Collin himself has done a quick reissue on his own imprint Early Music for those like us who missed out or couldn’t stomach what surely would have been a wild shipping rate for a single LP from Italy. While his prodigious output, which has been spread out across typically tiny imprints, can be difficult to keep tabs on, it’s surely a sign of confidence that this LP gets a second life so soon after vanishing. While certainly not far off from his usual folk-forward hypno-drone that we’ve come to love, The Other Dead Sea is a particularly enamouring and inviting effort. Reaching out like a warm embrace, the epic album centrepiece, the nearly side-long track “The Lowering, pulls you in with the gentle plying of his fireside blues guitar, crackled ambience, looped finger-picking and sawing violin laments, its lo-fi charm gives you the feeling that you’re right there with him in the room of creation. It’s one of his finest moments and worth the price of admission alone. Fans of the Holy Mountain/Dark Noontide era of Six Organs of Admittance are urged to snap up a copy. Ordered direct from the artist in Sweden. Handmade sleeves with handwritten titles, paste-on sleeve and insert. Edition of 250.
