Narratives of erosion. A demise of forms cast against the abrasive metals of progress. Sombre drones rumble beneath clouds of dust and ruin. Amidst this desolation rise and fall the corrosive melodies of force against substance. Of expression suffocated by oppression.
These compositions, these recordings, by Imperial Valley hold the listener like the distant gazes of lives drowned in sepia, lost among discarded dreams. Here those lives are resurrected - excavated in sound - to live once more.
