Pain Is All I Have For You
An infected journey through humid vine like enclosures and vicious leaf blades with a tangy serrated edge where one might observe a little too closely the multi-colored wandering spiders over oaks hanging and sucking the sharp edges of the razor, a sudden shine of reflected alumni light could perhaps enter the cornea and a dangerously precise interval pre-empting the reflex to shut your eyes. At last, crawling on hands and stone along a rocky and unstable footing - the enormous shale mouth opens…

Atta's Apartment Slated For Demolition
Atta’s Apartment Slated for Demolition finds Dominick Fernow’s Vatican Shadow project at a crossroads. Originally released in 2012, the album still has the blank-eyed, cold, hypnotic minimalism of his earliest albums that made Vatican Shadow one of the most unlikely breakout artists of the noise underground in the early 2010s. It’s got the cryptic yet provocative title, in this case alluding to Mohamed Atta, the ringleader behind the 9/11 hijackings. It’s got the paranoid forever-war album art a…

Unus Et Trinus
*200 copies limited edition* "Among the musicians I have appreciated the most in recent years, a special place is undoubtedly reserved for Lars Bröndum and David Lee Myers. From 2015 onwards, I had the pleasure of playing their songs on the radio transmission The Recognition Test frequently, and inviting them to participate in numerous compilations published by the Unexplained Sounds network. Over time, I realized that, albeit in different ways and forms, their music could integrate and compleme…

Loss
*100 copies limited edition* There is a wooden platform overlooking the marsh at the halfway point of this trail, just the same as it’s been for years. One innocuous autumn afternoon you lean against its railing for a photograph that your companion insists on capturing because of that perfect peach light in the distant cirrus. 4:23pm. The creaky waist-high beam gives way just a bit, loosened by seasonal damp, and you startle slightly but find your footing with a well-trained portrait smile. The …

Domus
*300 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* There are roads, paths that inevitably end up joining and there is not always an explanation that is dictated by a precise logic. in fact, there can be many reasons why one decides to take a common path, and in a musical world - which is extremely fragmented - one does not exclude chance or even the sum or escalation of those favourable circumstances that sometimes seem to be inevitable. Thus a simple empathic trigger was all that was needed,…
