Out Now: Sypha Nadon: Lovecraft [MZR053]

 


Mauve Zone Recordings is pleased to announce the Sypha Nadon LP LOVECRAFT. Unlike the conventional pop stylings of 2018's PLEASANT SONGS or the classy compositions of 2019's HIRAETH, this marks a return to the band's more experimental era, which is another way of saying lots of repetitious loops, pretentious song titles, unlistenable noise, and much pointless, meandering noodling. Disclaimer: aside from the album title and song names, this album actually has very little to do with Lovecraft.

As always it may be listened to/downloaded for free at the Mauve Zone Recordings Internet Archive page:
