SOME BECAME HOLLOW TUBES
Keep it in the Ground
Some Became Hollow Tubes floating in the ocean.
6 self recorded improvised drone rock waves from Eric Quach (thisquietarmy - relentless DIY powerhouse) and Aidan Girt (Godspeed You! Black Emperor).
Chords loop, pedals get pushed, pounding drum parts get added and subtracted, it starts quiet and gets loud. Eric no longer needs to worry about the rhythm, Aidan no longer has to worry about the song structure. All four ears stay cocked and listening even if neither of them are very good at keeping eye contact.
One life to live, pound drone and loop this moment into the present, hahaha lets keep joking, it's ok.... the music has our sadness. This world is dying, the machines are getting better and better at eating material things to create nothing and all we can do is make wordless music in response.
PRESS:
"Wide of angle, stunningly executed, shot through with wordless emotion, Keep It In The Ground is a score for a film that doesn’t exist – and even if it did, it would struggle to match the breath-taking sonic splendour found here." Astral Noize
"I think the message is clear here. If you're into drones & drums, kraut & psychedelic, ambient & percussion, you need this album." Merchant of Air
