A little batch of Major-key riffs, layers, and solos that would honor the Great One (any great one) in the form of some musical sacrifices. If you like the second half of the classic indie-rock tune "Nothing Ever Happened" by Deerhunter, then you have arrived at the correct location. The record, and most of my playing of late, has been obsessed with that tone and mood.
Buttery postrock with some shoegaze influences, extended jams, wall of sound, diddly-doo neighborino type of EP. Influences for this record include: Bill Orcutt, Deerhunter, Yo La Tengo, And So I Watch You from Afar
Widow I lost you, out at sea The waves were crashing And I was looking for you, The sky was dark and I saw stars, and they whispered your name They told me you're safe And that I couldn't see you again Not on this plane The trees sway the same Even though you have a gravestone When I come to see you My mind tells me to join you One day I'll listen, because After all the pain I've been through, I hope death will be worth it This war, Tore the life from us The blackened heart I now have, pours out to the world I'll never forget How good you were to me The rain still makes me cry Even though I'm sitting outside This cold might kill me And then I can be with you I won't feel a thing The medication is kicking in I might feel less lonely, With the shadow, the shadow That you cast over me 10 years I still smell your clothes I still feel your pulse, flickering, out of this world This night is brutal The trees sway the same Even though you have gone away Facing bitter end This will never end Only if I will die This will never pass Demons everblack No longer binded to you I wish I could tell you how I've been I wish I could sit down and eat with you again I wish I could hear your voice
EP release from 2018
Thorn1 is the first Silber artist from Russia. It’s about time given the links so much of our music has to frozen winters & how influenced we all are by hundred year-old Russian novels. Reminiscent of Silber artists like Aarktica, Remora, Vlor , & If Thousands; Thorn1 has a flavor all of its own blending drone, shoegaze, electronics, & nature sounds with stories of love & loss, angst & hope. Thorn1 was founded in 2005 in the Altai region of Russia by Evgeny Zheyda as a side project of his post-grunge band Partisani. Zheyda discarded his previous musical experiences & instead explored sound, analyzing the structure of music & its influence on human consciousness. Thorn1 tended both toward melodic songs & the atonal noise that creates surreal soundscapes, but it was clear that at some point they would be combined into one unique beast. In late 2008 after a personal tragedy Zheyda left Partisani to devote himself to Thorn1. The search for solace culminated in So Far As Fast, the first official release of the young artist. The album is filled with funeral hymns, snowstorms, the freezing breath of solitude, & the hope for a shining future. Post angst music from Siberia. Tracks like “Drone,” “Why Am I Here So Distant From My Old Life,” & “Snow Is Abstract” are shimmering guitar pieces that feel like the warm blankets that let you survive winter nights. “Safe Trip” brings a feeling of frustration & controlled rage with guitar strings hit so hard they can be heard over the volume of the amplifier. “And Death Shall Have No Dominion” brings a feeling of closure & hope in something approaching Americana. “Dissosense” combines somber piano & vocals with disco beats. The album closes with a piano rendition of the Aarktica classic “Welcome Home.” The album shifts with ease all over musical & emotional maps portraying the inner workings of grief & the celebration of survival; So Far As Fast acts as a passport into Zheyda’s heart, mind, & soul.
36 tracks of modern shoegaze.
first half is guitar, kinda bedroom post rock, second half is larger leaning into avant garde and noise
A sonic journey down some dark paths - each track lingering in isolation & bordering on abandonment. Walls of drone & lingering feedback, decaying guitar riffs, overdriven bass progressions, distorted drum machines, broken melodies. Part post rock, part post-apocalyptic ambient, where shoegaze & drone collide like a car hit by a train. Enjoy.
I left with my hands covered in blood.
a record detailing the journey through some particularly trying times; hope it helps / heals
We are immensely excited to welcome NCRTYP back to Dustopian Frequencies with POWER - an album of haunted beats that channel the ghosts of post punk past.
Prescription for acute sleep deprivation' came out of the creative wooziness of early fatherhood, late nights and lack of sleep head fog somehow inspiring the layered washes of guitars.
Documenting the flawed deciphering of the ineffable, the unknowable, the eternity of the present moment experienced in centered clarity. Recorded memories of past lives re-spoken in tone, spurred by the conception of the opposing forces in nature. The light side and the night side of nature and the respected use of their values in balance with the Law of One. Awakening inner realms and awareness of the dream state, where one becomes the active navigator instead of being carried away by ever flowing currents. In languages symbolic of the greater mysteries within and without, opening portals amongst nature’s diaspora and stepping into a state of grand realization and reclamation outside all confines of linear time. Mirroring the initiate’s journey, where illusionary veils can be lifted from great universal mysteries, so distorted by time and form once bound to the dying light of separation. For consciously imbibing lesser poisons to uncover worlds of unwinding chromatic patterns and textures through heightened sensory stimuli. For standing amidst megalithic structures of confounding magnetism and remembrance. For seeking inner and outer peace in all dimensions through truth and hermetic wisdom. For the transitioning between objective and subjective realities where one's own devachanic experience unfolds in The Lunar Temple. Spiraling into Void ever upwards.

Early 2000s college dorm post-rock.
sorry for the delay. i had been on a creative block for a while. this album is the filtered tracks of a LOT that i wrote. different from the previous ep, unmarked, and the previous deleted ep (because it was nonsense), clouds feel heavy, i didn't put straight influences in my mind while making it. sure, i had influences- i can name a major one for each song- but it wasn't as much a big deal as it had been. and i think that helped me with the creative block. this ep, i think, is one more step further on my path to indie glory. and another love letter to the things i listen to. "occasionally" is the most unmarked-lite song here. it has got all of the fall breaks stuff- shoegazey guitars (is it a stretch? i will assume not), post-punkish rhythm section, catchy melody... "with your eyes" is a funny song- i had already decided it was rubbish and was going to leave it rotting in my hard drive, until i found myself singing it. countless times. it is catchy as hell. i had to leave it in. you people can tell me what you think about it. i MEAN that. send me an e-mail: [email protected] feedback is always good. so are other e-mail subjects. "somehow" was my attempt at a "velocity girl" / "what you do to me" type of song. you gotta love an economic pop song. and "everybody knows i've gotta grow up", as i discuss further in the individual description, is inspired by acoustic radio session bootlegs from the late 90s, from artists such as noel gallagher and richard ashcroft (okay, primarily these two). i hope it was worth the wait. not just your wait, but my wait. i missed fall breaks, man.
Lo-fi instrumental guitar pieces. Primitive shoegaze. Proto-post-rock.
