Selected Memories From the Haunted Ballroom

Selected Memories From the Haunted Ballroom cover art

Drawing direct inspiration from the chilling final act of 'The Shining', Leyland Kirby's inaugural release under this moniker heavily manipulates 1920s dance band records. Pitch-shifting and looping these antiquated 78 RPM shellacs through cavernous reverb creates an intensely eerie, ghostly meditation on memory and decay.
