COLOSSLOTH - ’Thalassophile’ Promo Video

COLOSSLOTH ’Thalassophile’ From the landlocked kingdom of Mercia comes this slab of Dave Kirby (Satori) produced, industrial noise electronica. Brought forth into the world by that affable alchemist of sound Colossloth, Thalassophile represents a significant departure from previous mélanges in that it is pulse-driven; the thread of palpation ebbing and flowing, with and against, acquiescing and butting against the principle phrases that conjure so effectively humankind’s need for connection with the ocean. The tortured, buried vocals hinting at loss on a huge yet intimate scale. Imagine, if you can, a visceral longing for something that you’ve never seen, smelt, felt. Something that exists for you only as a whisper of an idea in a dream, genetic memory. Imagine the pain of not understanding or even knowing that for which your heart longs because your entire world has always consisted of the soot-stained squalor, brutality, and hunger into which you were born and in which you are now maintained by a society which thinks itself beneficent for doing so. You have never seen the ocean, never known the thrill of a first glimpse on arrival at the coast. Never known the olfactory tang of salt and kelp and rotting crustacean. Never felt the lightly formed saline crust on your skin after a day in the waves. How can you lament that which you have never known. Thalassophile can bring us close to knowing this exquisite pain.
