album notes
STUBBORNDEATHSTUBBORNSTEEL exchanges the orchestral incursions, enveloping ambient passages and discordant percussion of 2021’s fully cinematic and well-received SKYMYTH with rapid-fire piano, distorted guitar timbres, industrial synths, bubbling drum machines, and voice.
The voice is upfront, unadorned. Genovese’s lyric assemblage — using Hamlet as a random word-well from which to draw — is by turns stark, sensual, dangerous and elegiac.
These tracks move with the logic of emergence.
Each track stands alone; offering surprise at every turn.
