astor: inland

Kye is proud to present Inland, the new LP by Clapton-based Astor. Advancing the cause of 2012's Alcor LP, Inland finds Mark Harwood and sometime collaborator Maja Larsson further complicating reason with dark and circuitous audio constructs. Taking its inspiration from Gerard Murnane's 1988 novel of the same name, Inland explores a personalized perception of space, both real and imagined, returning a fabricated dream world which teases logic and tricks the ear. Conceived with piano, bells, tapes, gong, autoharp, hammer, T.V., organ, and dry ice pellets, Inland cuts the face of expectation to expose a ten part fractal sonic geography, governed by its own laws, and flushed with all the beauty and horror of the natural world. Inland arrives in a full color, high gloss sleeve, in an edition of 400 copies.
