Album Notes & Community Reviews
'The Age of Ephemerality' interrogates society's dependence on technology through a seismic collision of post-rock, modern classical, and abrasive electronics. Recorded in a 160-year-old church to capture a sense of physical space, the album juxtaposes lush string and organ arrangements against jarring breakbeats, manipulated tape loops, and walls of distorted guitar. The compositions are sprawling and dynamic, building from moments of serene beauty to cathartic, roaring intensity, framing a political critique of the digital age and the commodification of art.
