new zealand eels lp [ec002]
sunken's previous two albums on pseudo arcana were long form chord-organ driven flights into the heart of the ecstatic blaring sun. despite antony milton (the nether dawn, glory fckn sun etc.) and stefan neville's (pumice) lovecraftian attempts to posit sunken as sea-shanties sung by sailors lost to cthulhu at the bottom of the deepest darkest ocean, somehow their surging reed driven organs and vocal streams broadcast via cracked electronics seemed to suggest sailors breaking free of the weeds and swimming towards the light, and even, occasionally, breaking the surface.
their first vinyl release new zealand eels however, is a tentacle shot from the abyss to drag the sailors back down into the service of the lurker in the deep. bleak, black and completely drowned, new zealand eels beams five submarine tracks from the lost to the lost through the milky darkness. with the vocal melodies pushed to the foreground and the instrumental origins of the music obscured as never before by damaged baby monitors, power starved dictaphones, tape saturation and spring reverb, sunken are now finally, truly lost to the abyss. two drowned sailors invite you to breathe in the water, forget about life on the surface and lay down with the kraken amidst the curling weeds.
what has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise. loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men.
