Moth Drakula

Moth Drakula’s second release on Misanthropic Agenda finds them revisiting and refining early industrial explorations with a more mature and precise ear; utilizing cracked microphones, raw natural sounds, sparse voices, analogue synthesizers and various samplers which scrub and oscillate the source material into peals of fevered dread. The impetus and focus of this recording was based on the process of attempting to bury the psychic history of a loved one. “I Greet You At The Beginning Though I Can't Control Your Exit” is a field recording to the construction of a sonic mausoleum in real time. A cinematic soundtrack filtered through the air of a cathedral that is constantly in flux, where the brickwork shifts and rumbles beneath your feet, its crooked windows break under new constructions, disembodied voices squeak and scramble through crumbling mortar, while instable beams creak and whine overhead as frigid winds threaten to topple its belfry. Tracked almost entirely in one 55-minute session on June 23, 2024, in Honolulu, Hawaii; the record was then minimally edited and revised in Los Angeles, CA.
