MYRNINEREST
"JHONN", UTTERED BABYLON (THE SPHERES)
MYRNINEREST is the new Hallucinatory Cartoon channelled by David Tibet in order to work, outside of CURRENT 93, with some of the artists and friends he admires the most.
""Jhonn," Uttered Babylon", their harrowing and haunted debut, featuring James Blackshaw and David Tibet, is centered on Davids friendship with, and love for, the late Jhonn Balance of COIL as well as Jhonns death and how it affected the circle of friends around Jhonn.
With all lyrics by David and all music written by James, the album was recorded during February 2012 with James Blackshaw on classical guitar and harmonium and David as vocalist.
Both LP and CD formats contain the same songs, but with very different mixes by different artists, and the tracks on the 2 formats have also been given different names.
The CD version is mixed by Andrew Liles (Current 93, Nurse With Wound) and comes in a full-colour digipak with a 20-page booklet containing the albums text and reproductions of two charcoal drawings by Jhonn Balance.
The two different paintings on the CD and booklet covers are also by Jhonn Balance.
