Excavated Relics by Sub Loam

Supplement to The Portable Archive

Additional Items Received 2019

Two recently rediscovered examples of Anomalous Loam dating from c. 2009 - 2010 excavated and displayed both on professional, high quality, real-time duplicated cassettes in a clear cassette case with j-card and cardboard outer slipcase and digitally as a lossless download.

Outliers from the Early Trilogy of Cotton Goods/Dissolving releases Ohr, 2 and Earthern Circle (2009 - 2010, as documented on The Portable Archive and digitally), these two tracks are thematically and musically related whilst standing at a remove from the circle of those original releases. Cassette murk, hiss and delay, fragmentary percussives, guitar strings as contour lines or twisting stems, burgeoning organic clouds, analogue electronics, observation and contemplation.

The connections with the spiked rural wanderings of Earthern Circle, the heavy soil dubs of 2 and the radiant moods of Ohr are clear whilst also travelling outwards from those zones towards the territory where these two other, previously unreleased, distinct artefacts were discovered.

Two Archaic Remnants, excavated from magnetic tape 2018.
