Blanck Mass - IN FERNEAUX [Indie Exclusive Magenta Color Vinyl]

What is the purpose of pain? Can it do anything other than cause suffering? Ferneaux is an exploration of pain in motion, where audio-spatial chambers of experience and memory are created. Blanck Mass used a collection of field recordings from a decade of global travels to compose the record during a period of isolation, which provided an opportunity to make connections when physical presence was impossible. The album is divided into two long-form journeys, which serve as a nostalgic travelogue and collect memories of being with loved ones who are now geographically distant. These journeys are infused with echoes of voices, places, and sensations. Intense aural tension is built up and released in alternating scenes, which emerge from the trauma of a personal grieving process that may have embraced its moment of rage.
