Jamie Jones Superlative, mesmerising dronescapes. Sounds like it should accompany aerial footage of ruined cities on a loop forever. Favorite track: Condemned To Walk This Eternal Canyon Floor.
Forgotten Fields

Forgotten Fields Music explores the human condition in ways no other art form can. This album, bleak and bare as the souls it describes, contemplates the tragic abyss of a life devoid of spirit, fortitude and freedom. It is a glimpse into the shadows of weakness, a lament for the hopeless—but here is the power of art that it should speak of these things with such beauty and eloquence that it evokes in us a desire to beckon these ghosts to the light. Favorite track: Condemned To Walk This Eternal Canyon Floor.

mzunguzu It's as if Winged Victory for the Sullen and Burial went on a bender, met Keiii Haino at a bar, and this is what they'd recorded when they woke up. Favorite track: Sleep Is For The Weak / Sleep Is For The Wicked.

about

The rusted gears of Ghost Signs creak into motion once more from too long a slumber. An album about loneliness, sleep deprivation and confusion, A Temporary Loss of Transience mixes warped, mangled hazy tape loops with feedback and drones, while guitar riffs loop and repeat in the distance.

Available only on Bandcamp, as either a limited edition cassette, or as a digital download.

i: Sleeping can be a form of emotional escape and can with sustained effort be abused, purposeful sleep-deprivation can also be an abusable escape. Loneliness is not a function of solitude

ii: Modern man is a victim of emptiness – he is a man devoid of meaning. He is very busy, but he is emotionally empty, open to all entreaties and in search of only one thing – something to fill his inner void. To fill this void he goes to the movies – only a very temporary remedy. He seeks some deeper and more fulfilling attraction. He is available, and ready to listen to propaganda. He is the lonely man, and the larger the crowd in which he lives the more isolated he is. Despite the pleasure he might derive from his solitude, he suffers deeply from it. He feels the most violent need to be re-integrated into a community, to have a setting, to experience ideological and affective communication. That loneliness inside the crowd is perhaps the most terrible ordeal of modern man; that loneliness in which he can share nothing, talk to nobody, and expect nothing from anybody.
