Leaving Ocean For Land

Haunting, abstract avant-garde ambient brought to us by Seattle-based label Debacle, whose releases never cease to amaze. “Blake Edwards [Vertonen] teams up with the mysterious At Jennie Richie for a 45 minute piece of slowly moving musique concrete and sculpted half-memory.” This is just a single track: a long suite rising and falling on crescendos of field recordings and frigid static, an epic journey through dark caverns of subliminal soundscapes. Invites comparisons to Lustmord, Nurse With Wound and Throbbing Gristle, though also totally unique in its sublime bleakness. The modern world has collapsed and now exists only in the frayed strands of individual consciousness. A truly unique auditory experience for those who want to be a “pure subject of will-less knowledge” as Schopenhauer put it.
