Dave Sutton of Stadiums and Shrines: I read the other day that parts of New Zealand’s Pink and White Terraces were just re-discovered. The geothermic formations (whose native names translate to “fountain of the clouded sky” and “the tattooed rock”) had once been considered the 8th wonder of the world, and attracted tourists from all over due to their surreal beauty and pure white silica hot springs. That is until 1886, when a devastating volcano erupted, burying them in a crater of sediment, consequently shaping a lake that would eventually swallow every trace of their existence.
That idea somehow inspires this mix: an arrangement of tracks (old and new) that simply feel like this phenomenon, from enchanted mist to tragic ash to aquatic darkness.
