Arran Poole – Painkiller (Submarine Broadcasting Company)

Label Description: Our new release is from a new artist on SubCastCo. Glacial long form electronica. This from the artist.

“Slowly building, repeating washes of synthesised sound and noise envelop all around it. Overtaking, consuming, suppressing and supplanting background signals. Noises ricochet through the consciousness; ghostly snares echo back and forth as in an imagined cathedral. Anxious calls and distorted responses. A cloud of hazy dissonance rises, forced up and through intricate tones and space.

The thaw. Ice melts, turns to water, trickles and weaves, carving out streams and pathways. Slowly, shapes emerge from a frosty prison. Moist moss and lichen, once deformed, returning to shape; reappearing from the cold.

An antidote to pain.”

Music and visuals by Arran Poole.

Created using guitars, bass and snare drums, strings, tape hiss, synth and effects.
