House of Falling Ash
VINYL AVAILABLE THRU SEEING RED RECORDS! chromeghost-us.bandcamp.com in our follow up to the (shockingly) successful record The Diving Bell, we wanted to keep exploring sounds and figure out how we can keep ourselves and our audience excited about this music. House of Falling Ash is our longest record, our most sonically ambitious record, (with pedal steel guitar, arpeggiated synths, mellotron) but also our most thematically ambitious record. this loosely-formed concept record is about a sort of dreamscape of the unconscious where the pain and secrets of our lives rest locked away in a decrepit home choked in roses and encircled by guard dogs. this pain has nowhere to go and the world (and the house) are crumbling around it and threaten to go down in flames. our long-time collaborator pat hills returned to engineer this record as well as lending his talents to multiple instruments. the furnace features the second appearance of CHRCH's eva rose to bring her flamethrowing vocals. the fourth track, where black dogs dream, features a gorgeous interlude by yseulde, and a climactic last third with vocals from brume's susie mcmullin. basically, we called in the cavalry on this one. FOR BEST RESULTS INCREASE VOLUME love you all, thanks for everything
