, set for a Mar. 15 street date."SIGE was formed as an outlet for projects that Faith and I are directly involved in," said Turner. "The idea was to create a situation whereby we could maintain control over our own music and art to the greatest extent possible, from the process of inception all the way through manufacturing and distribution. By approaching things this way we can have a greater level of certainty that the releases will meet our expectations and stay true to our original intent. It also allows us a channel through which to work more closely with those we collaborate with and thus further strengthen those ties."
"Mare Decendrii is an emotional and intimate exploration of my relationship to piano, process, intuitive composition and to the collaborators and other band members involved. Sharing excitement about sound and composition and forming new friendships through this recording was a very important aspect of making this album," explained Coloccia. Co-produced by Randall Dunn (Sunno))), Bjork, Six Organs of Admittance, etc.), Coloccia and Turner were joined on the recording of of Mare Decendrii by Eyvind Kang, Earth's Don McGreavy, Thrones' Joe Preston, Mika Ratto and Jussi Lehtisalo of Circle, Russian Circles' Brian Cook, Black Math Horseman's Sera Timms, Travis Rommereim and others.
Hydra Head, released Mamiffer's debut album Hirror Enniffer
in 2008 with hometown weekly The Stranger describing the release as "brooding pieces of gripping drama" while Pitchfork said it was a "textural delight." The Wire referred to Mamiffer as "both beguiling and terrifying" and Rock-A-Rolla said "its extended piano/guitar sequences are things of exquisite beauty and restraint, drawing down the curtain on a most satisfying subterranean collaboration."
