North Texas-based musician and writer LANE OLIVER (DIMINISHING, ex-YATSU) has unveiled a new solo project with its debut track, "I Spoke Of You In The Past Tense," now streaming everywhere.
Recorded in a single session back in March, "I Spoke Of You In The Past Tense" sees LANE OLIVER utilizing multiple layers of guitars, effects and field recordings to construct a sprawling soundscape that is as ethereal as it is pummeling. The eighteen-minute composition draws the listener in with melancholic, slowcore riffs reminiscent of early RED HOUSE PAINTERS, before erupting into an all-consuming wall of harsh noise-laden post-rock.
The track was mixed and mastered by Scott Miller at Ancient Temple Recordings and completed with artwork by Eeli Helin, known for his work with FAWN LIMBS, NADJA and BA'AL. Fans of A-SUN AMISSA, GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR, NADJA, BLACK BONED ANGEL and KLEISTWAHR are pointed to the release as a natural fit.
The single-session recording approach mirrors the raw, unfiltered nature of the finished piece, with the extended runtime allowing the composition room to shift gradually from its hushed opening passages into the noise-drenched second half without losing its emotional throughline.
"I Spoke Of You In The Past Tense" is available now on Bandcamp and all other digital platforms via linktr.ee/undignifiedsound.
