polypores: the impossibility

Polypores, aka Stephen James Buckley, makes haunted space music using an ever-expanding mound of synthesizers, samplers, and old tape recorders. Bleak, icy drones give way to 1970's sci-fi synth lines, throbbing bass rumbles ominously beneath a psychedelic haze of wistful melody and disembodied voices. The Impossibility was inspired by the destruction of the planet Earth by the human race, the early works of JG Ballard, Tarkovsky's Stalker (1979), conspiracy theories, and places where the rules of time and space are brought into question. It was written and recorded in January 2017. A wonderful album, which comes dressed in a Nick Taylor designed sleeve. Vinyl-only; Edition of 300.
