Rice Cultivation Society’s latest, Sky Burial (out January 15, 2013), deals with the mystery of death and, indeed, takes its name from a Tibetan tradition of letting predatory birds devour a corpse rather than burning or burial (and here I thought it was Jains to who used this funerary practice; you learn something new every day!)
Inspiration also comes from the myth of Icarus and hence there is a lot about the sky in this record.
Rice Cultivation Society is the brainchild of Derek Smith. The project began in 2005 and is an unusual sort of “do it yourself project.” This isn’t lo-fi of the normal variety.
Check out, or download, the track, Honey Hide, below below. One show has been announced too--January 19 at Mr Beery's in Long Island. Other bands on the bill include; Howth, Incorporated Village of Ghost and My Summer.
