about

The warped candid nature of leisure, ceasing to fold at the edges; for want of a better name. Soothing tongues living side by liquid, putrid side. Left is a picture, naked and fluorescent, beaming through quilted lungs. Futility, printed on a widescreen circus curtain, the undoing of holy vows in the doing of unholy acts.

Gravitate towards condolence. One in the airwaves is worth a buck when you stargaze, run a mile although the window runs faster. It's not just you that can't take your eyes off it, I've felt it crawl under my lighting and bruise the ulcers underneath. Grazing on thick wickets, and interruptions, oranging carpets into alphabetical cemetery lines. Think what you want about pride, its prudence is proof that the truth is useless.

All recorded with a single m/s pair of Schoeps mk22 and mk8 with no overdubs or equalisation in various locations around Newcastle upon Tyne

Humongous thanks to Dario Lozano Thornton for recording, and mastering the record, as well as aesthetic advice and general support from start to finish. Thanks also to Lily Jackson for her voice, both on and off the record. Further gratitude must go to Dario, Lily and Zoob for letting me stay with them during the recording process, and to their two precious cats Ornette and Chester.

about

Aka Erada Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK

Several years and still no silhouette, lucky to be herd. Gracious woodworm, fulfilled by bereavement and free buffets.
