“This music is dangerous. Deep emotional wounds often need to be reopened and scarped in order to have a shot at healing. Hoping for the Invisible to Ignite invites us to pass through the raging fire so that we might stand on the ravaged side, patting the flames on our singed clothes and glaring triumphantly at the monster that should have destroyed us.” — The Silent Ballet 9/10

“This shit’s crazy.” — Drax

TIRED OF THE CHRISTMAS NAZIS?

Are the Christmas Nazis still camped out in your living room with their loose fräuleins and crates of champagne? Still stinking up the joint with stupid jokes about Goering and the Luftwaffe and flying reindeer that weren’t funny five days ago?

Well, SEND THEM PACKING!

“You get out of here, you… damn… Christmas… Nazis.”

HO HO, you tell ‘em, Grandma!

THISQUIETARMY’s newest album RESURGENCE is arguably his most accessible and varied record since his debut album UNCONQUERED. It reveals another step forward into the extension of his signature shoegaze/drone-based compositions, incorporating many different elements of post-rock, post-punk, psychedelic, krautrock, industrial & doom. 

As a result, RESURGENCE is an eclectic blend of gauzy textures and rhythms, a fresh reconstruction of his unique musical style and personal influences, and an adventurous ride from one end of the drone spectrum to the other. 

RESURGENCE took 4 years to complete, in between THISQUIETARMY’s previous outputs which have mainly explored the dark ambient/doom-drone realm since the UNCONQUERED sessions. 

The bonus disc of the CD and the bonus tracks on the LP and 7” lay out the amount of compositions that have come through since then. The results can be described as dark, melodic, expansive & engaging dreamscapes. 

Guests on the album include: Meryem Yildiz (vocals) on the track ‘Gone to the Unseen’, Émilie Livernois-Desroches (violin) and Zena Virani (spoken words) appear respectively on the bonus tracks ‘Ballad of a Shepherdess’ and ‘The Cold Vacancy’. James Plotkin mastered the record. All the artwork for the album were illustrated by Mandi A. Morgan. 

For fans of NADJA, ZOLA JESUS, etc.
