cassette
edition of 25

Recorded during and around the same time as the song-based "Ouroboros", "If We Were Landscapes" stretches out over two long sides. Each side contains a number of suites, often built around treated acoustic instruments. Five minutes into the increasingly orchestral 'Self-Portrait in Decay' and backward vocals only hint at the full-on song that emerges from the maelstrom. This is a song Rachel used to play at coffee shops in the mid-aughts, and here revisited some 15 years later, the song takes on new meanings. Just as the electronic drums build, the song begins to drift back into a half-asleep, gentle folk collage. The final stabs of synthesizer lap against the guitar echo like VHS seafoam, before they too decay. 'Your Layered Silhouette, Unwinding' begins with what sounds like a distant radio station broadcasting backward. Layers accumulate, veiling the interception in wow and flutter. The static fades and a single Rhodes piano sputters its morse code-like melody, a sinking ship slowly being pulled under by deep synth bows.
Originally self-released on CD-R and 12" lathe-cuts, this newly remastered version of "If We Were Landscapes" finally gets the cassette treatment with new art by Rachel Evans.

Begins shipping in early December.
