The companion EP to Paper White, Big Black Square was the final recording made during the We Move Through Weather recording sessions. This single 43-minute piece is entirely improvised, and is without a doubt the darkest release in Tarentel's lengthy catalog. This EP reveals more about the process with which Tarentel's songs are developed, perhaps more clearly than any other release. The curtain is pulled back to reveal all their tricks, and somehow you still don't quite understand how they do it.

these sounds of ceaseless renewal: as landscapes flitter by in grey blurs, as distant lights dance in your eyelids, a warm feeling deep in your chest radiating outward. i never want to leave the places these songs so effortlessly and delicately conjure. played them more times than i count, perhaps even more than the other LPs. i love this album so so so much.
