Year end lists

KILN had some kind words about The Green Kingdom's Laminae album as part of Textura.org's 2008 Artists' Picks. Check out the full list here.

"The Green Kingdom: Laminae (the land of): This record was the runaway favourite this year. Combining beautiful, elastic waves of tone with knocks, clicks, and field noise. All these elements are rooted by the most interesting and tasteful use of filtered, cut-up guitar. Perfect. Michael Cottone's previous full-lengths, Meadowview and The Green Kingdom hint at the niceness still to arrive which then congealed on Laminae. Manufactured by the land of imprint, this limited-edition disc even comes in a raw, cardstock sleeve letter-pressed with silver ink which gives the first impression that each unit is hand drawn."

Happy New Year!
