Black Earth

VINYL FORMAT. Black Earth is a haunted and magical place. At night, when the air is crisp and clean, you can lie on your back by the fire & look up at the stars & listen to the animals and insects making their music. Implodes has been to Black Earth and they made dark and murky music for that dark and murky place. Cavernous guitar tones and dense melodies are present everywhere. Hidden beneath the layers of reverb, delay and distortion are deceptively simple and beautiful songs about experiences that have been obscured for many years that suddenly become profoundly important. The cobwebs just needed to be pushed aside a bit. Implodes is a Chicago quartet that has coalesced around guitarists Matt Jencik (Hurl, Don Caballero) and Ken Camden in the last few years, with the group settling on their current lineup in 2009.
