_____________________________________
It is not enough to trace the fields.
The choreo-cartographic demands the casting of stone, a grassfire, a carnival; something with which to rupture the horizontality of existence and imagine the vertical.
Earth is the eighth morning, folded against the week’s work.
The field is a line drawing of oblivion.
The house is a forest in the shape of a womb.
America is a quarry in the image of god.
(Aidan Patrick Welby – 2024)
—————————————————————-
“The band captures the American stretch, the spaces in-between and the hollowness that haunts us along those routes…fades the radio to static to let the nothingness linger among the soul.” (Raven Sings the Blues)
“…evokes an ambience of prayer-like solemnity that celebrates something decidedly terrestrial, what the label describes as “a rusted and granular shadow world where the dive bar meets the divine.” It recalls one of those junkyard shrines built by some sincere eccentric, improbably wonderful forms of weathered stone and scrap metal standing like totems to an unrecognised religion rooted in the earth around us.” (Various Small Flames)
