RUINS ERA - OUT NOW
The new A-Sun Amissa album Ruins Era is finally out. Hooorahhh.
Available on CD (via @gizehrecords / bandcamp) and digitally in all the usual spots.
This one is a 70 beast and has been quite some time in the making. Massive hails to @claire_knox_ and @lukeguitars for bringing their mad skills to the table.
Some nice words have already been written!
"This is Drone Jazz of the highest level, one that can rival Zorn and Sunn O))), Earth and Nadja and many other artists! Wow! What a record! Now please excuse I need to re-immerse myself again in a new era!" @veil_of_sound
“Ruins Era is a weary migration between the bleak and the bleaker. The album title points to a state of ruin that has become, well, just that – a state, prolonged until it adopts an identity of its own, no longer defined as the aftermath of a before-time, but enduring until memories of the era prior have perished. All sounds resides somewhere upon the spectrum of decay; guitars crumble into distortion, clarinets vaporise into smoke. The last remaining pillars of structure, as rendered in lurching emergences of doom-paced rhythm, seem helplessly unstable under peals of screams and incessant overdrive. They haul themselves to the next beat until they can’t. We are, unequivocally, within a world too burned and broken to indulge any residual hopes of repair.“ ATTN
"A-Sun Amissa have taken many elements that will be familiar to fans of ambient, drone and post-rock music, but combined them to create something unique. Two things set this album apart: its sweeping scope and its wonderful sense of restraint. Ruins Era is a triumph." @boolintunes
