New release
Places Without Expectation is an experiment. Not only musically but in how we're presenting it to you.
Over our many years, we have amassed numerous incomplete, half-formed pieces of music. All artists know the challenge of judging when something is 'finished'. Many times, a piece will deflate and be set aside in a corner because it did not evolve into something more in the eyes and ears of its creator. This happens a lot. But those expectations are only one perspective.
Fragments can be beguiling glimpses into something which can never be fully seen. Putting many of them together can create twists and clashes, rhymes and surprises. From the lifeless, comes something new.
Of course, you know these are incomplete because we're telling you. This is presented as a patchwork borne of lost inspiration and underwhelm. Expectation management, perhaps. Certainly there is less considered melody or structure and more focus on shifting textures and moods across the whole 36 minutes or so.
The individual parts have titles but we're presenting it only to be listened to as one single file.
