about

From the record’s first dimly pulsing moments, the listener is led deep into an immeasurable dark. Warm synthesizer tones and Zeitler’s voice –– quiet, but disarmingly close, certain, and soon harmonizing with itself –– sustains a promise of grandeur in those depths.

Aurielle Zeitler's earth + death LP –– the third under her Ghost Marrow moniker and her first for The Garrote –– is patently breathtaking.

In describing this record, it might be just as valuable to describe the color of the sky just before dawn, just before the black relents, as to talk about what synthesizers or guitars Zeitler uses, or what her influences are.

Zeitler describes the work as a reflection on “the elegance and brutality of things that are alive.”

Making earth + death was remarkably free and even swift. Juno-60 improvisations, first takes in each song’s case, became the bedrock. Zeitler then began layering, finishing each piece quickly, instinctually. It is remarkable, considering the results, which in fact feel far from improvisational. Creating earth + death, Zeitler says, “was about liberation of my heart, for lack of a better term, and seeing if something musical would arrive without my intellect complicating the process.”

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 8 fans who also own “earth + death”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
