Land Trance is a collaborative duo between myself and Benjamin D. Duvall (founder of Ex Easter Island Head).
We released our first album in May 2020 via Forest Swords label Dense Truth. It was reissued on vinyl in June 2021 by Rocket Recordings.
Made between 2018 and 2020, it finds me and Ben extending each other’s musical vocabulary in unexpected ways - creating ecstatic assemblages of sound with an allusive sense of place.
Using zither, drum machine, music box, dictaphone, synthesiser and melodica amongst other sonic sources, through the course of the album threads of potential narrative and association circle like the rods of a mobile.
“an unfathomably gorgeous album, lush and layered with a powerful and personal core.”
