Endurance - Celestial Governors

Endurance put the sounds to tape this year, and 2018 is not even over. Was interested so took a quick look. Here is a summary, all this year, in cassette medium as well as digital.

• The Wandering of Days  [Third Kind Records] - sold out from the label but a couple copies are still available from Endurance's bandcamp page.
• Shade Terrarium [Constellation Tatsu] - available from both the label and Endurance's bandcamp page --- {Description on Lost in a Sea of Sound}
• Minimum States [Metaphysical Circuits] - sold out from the label and Endurance's bandcamp page.
• Cloud, Castle, Lake [Cosmic Winnetou] - sold out from the label but 1 copy is still available from Endurance's bandcamp page --- {Description on Lost in a Sea of Sound}
• Celestial Governors [Tymbal Tapes] - sold out from the label and Endurance's bandcamp page --- writing now!

Yes, this is a tangled paragraph of information with links galore. Any more output this year by Endurance and a spread sheet will be needed. 

Focusing on this cassette, Celestial Governors, is something Lost in a Sea of Sound wanted to do earlier, but copies sold out quickly. The necessity for quickness was abated. Possible reasoning, could be a combination of both Endurance hitting this 2018 stride and Tymbal Tapes almost year long sabbatical in cassette releases. So the above paragraph, the tracking archive Endurance's movement through 2018. 

Celestial Governors is four tracks totaling almost fifty minutes in sound. There are aspects of this composition that tie directly into a consistent sound from Joshua Stefane, especially in review of the output this year. For the most part, these four tracks have more emphasis on the physical. Weighty ambiance lifting just above the nebulous drone, only to see the wake of sounds rippling outward. Gravity is too powerful and pulls this aural time space into an almost mechanical heaviness that permeates the space beyond. It feels like Endurance has landed at the Tymbal Tapes HQ and sounds are being absorbed straight to recording devices. This is a great direction for Joshua, closing in on the center line between the ethereal and the earthly. Stabilizing the aural landscape allows consciousness too choose individual directions to explore. Music becomes the medium and launching point. 

Released on Tymbal Tapes at the start of September. Copies are sold out but the digital is ready and waiting to be heard. Please keep this tape on a search list for a physical copy. Excellent.
