about

Every Sound I don't hear is never anything. I have heard every sound that there is and some that have not been. When I wake up there is relief from everything and I feel like a worm. Glistening from the warmth and water of the mound. The air is cold and there are old sounds everywhere. These sounds are on my skin and they don’t care where they go. They sink into childhood and the suffering and the good times and there are other things that it goes into, too.

I carry them through the day. There is a discipline in sound and there are old and dusty undisciplined ways. Things that are before me and will be long after I'm gone. A shock to the senses and also just a dumb and boring line. Hummmmmm. Stupid. I want to grab it all and massage it into submission. Or maybe just make it what it means to be. There are things locked in things and then other times they are unlocked and ready for the using or being left alone. Fully formed and noble. Noble is a word used for something good. I think that I am good, or at least noble.

Guilt and shame seep in every day. Guilt and shame seem like part of the universe. Like gravity. If that is true, and I think it is, then guilt and shame are not you.

This is a fucking treat! Much cooler than my words will allow for. I'd say it is a must for fans of the founding fathers of post-rock, namely Bark Psychosis and Talk Talk. But I think Zelienople have taken that highly prized sound to new places, with an sound palette that remains focused throughout. offering a ton of lush instrumental surprises, flawless meditative drumming, and the apathetic and lulling vocal ramblings of Matt Christensen.
