Grey Lenses — Northern Noises (2019)

Hi everyone, we're presenting you today our final release of 2019. It's my web EP "Northern Noises", and it's inspired by Russian North.

It includes 4 tracks, starting with an ambient piece "Teriberka", published on our recent VA sampler, followed by more post-industrial "Dreams of Alyosha", which even has sort of melody.

Then we have laptop noise composition "Karla Libknekhta", named after the same street in Murmansk. Its noisy character depicts its dark and mostly brutal look. This street was amongst the first rebuilt after WWII, and, to my mind, currently it provides the harshest experience when you wander through the city.

We end with "Drovyanoe", a remote area of city of Murmansk, almost a ghost town. It's rather hard to get in there by bus and it's almost impossible to get out of Drovyanoe from your soul. It's half abandoned, depressing and devastating place. The sound shows the ancient feeling of fear spreaded by this area, ruthless and confident at the same time.

It's been rather prolific year, I must say. Hope that 2020 will brings us more good music. Stay tuned, happy hollidays, Merry Christmas everybody!

Sincerely yours,
John "Grey Lenses" Grey
