Trans-time zone collab between So-Cal sample sister LA Vampires and Madison, WI neo-Siouxsie Zola Jesus. Despite the distance their respective vibes vibe vibrantly: grainy dub rhythms echo under forlorn femme sing-song & howls drenched in spectral delay. There’s a couple bangers (“Bone Is Bloodstone,” “Looking In”), a couple ballads (“In The Desert,” “Vous”), and a pair of quasi-covers (“Searching,” “No No No”) – every mood given its due. Local photographer / drummer extraordinaire Caitlin C. Mitchell adds smoky trumpet on one track, while deep space Moog and production duties were handled by City Terrace studio wizard G. Gengras. A summer industrial riddim gem.

One of my favourite albums Zola ever made, beautifully DIY-noisy, spooky and dubby. The music has a smoky quality that you'd expect from the Twin Peaks soundtrack, it's like whispers of forgotten spells in your ear - both thrilling and anxiously unsure what's next. For fans of Zola Jesus and Pocahaunted it's a must, a match made in hell. :twisted:
