Buy: TRAVIS ELBOROUGH & STONECIRCLESAMPLER – ENDLESS LIMITED EDITION CD

(Sleep Fuse SF 56)

Channeling the words of J.G. Ballard & Chris Petits
Robinson, notably the chapter where Christo, Toto,
Cookie and Robinson are driving across the plain of
northern Europe “Robinson unguarded staring out of
the window, suddenly made vulnerable by the
absence of the city around him” via a staring
even further into the abyss & shivering in the
wreckage of early 2000s Croydon dubstep & grime,
all shallow grave electricity in rain & hard
graft [minus the drumz] with the double acts
signature betamax bleak post pub
classics sound, transmitted through a spectral
VHS MEMOREX of bleached out drones and words that act
as the map while the lights of cars ahead approach
and pass in the endless rainfall.
Endless is a never ending ever flowing river of
memories looped forever on a never ending, endless
concrete motorway.

Travis Elborough & Stonecirclesampler continue their
excavations of the dismal 1970s with the mundane
drift drones of Endless for underground drone &
folk label labyrinth Reverb Worship’s electronic
imprint Sleep Fuse.

Words remembered by Travis Elborough, memories
forgotten by Stonecirclesampler.
