Cloud Dweller - Eschatology

Warbled strings playing through aged black and white photos of forgotten souls. Expressions showing a deep sense of overwhelming exhaustion and simultaneous grins of controlled fortitude. Those dwelling in the vintage pictures are long removed. Their rebirth hinders in the unknown, here now, before or soon to be. Eschatology continues to breath with sonic sighs. An aural canvas for thoughts of existence both individually and the collective of those who surround. Sounds traversing ethereal borders, lines that are mysteries and the paths disappearing deep within them.

Cloud Dweller is a project by Glenn Nelson. With previous releases on Endangered Species Tapes ann Jolted Souls, Eschatology moves to Michigan's Flophouse label. Four tracks divided over a brimming half hour of beauty. Like the definition of the title, these sounds illicit feelings of a heaviness we all share. The next drift awaiting us, fused with a tapestry of both sadness and joy. These tracks bud, bloom and decompose. Swelling sounds, twisting like creeping vines, leaves obscuring the vast distance beyond. Glenn Nelson has cultivated beautiful passages on this composition, repeated listens opening the mind.

As mentioned, released on the Michigan label Flophouse. This is the forth release for the label and maintains the very limited run of thirty seven editions. Flophouse has only one release newer than Eschatology, a sound collage by the project Puberty. This cassette includes elegant textured paper for the insert, making the art an equal part of the sonic delight.
