The static, ambient soundscapes of Reykjavik-based
Russell.M.Harmon first caught our attention in the cold winter days of February, as we were given the first look into the absolutely stunning craftwork "Tragedy Fractures", that dove into deep and apocalyptic landscapes in inspiration of Ben Frost. Almost exactly 6 months later, Harmon's debut EP
We Are Failed is finally upon us, claiming his love (or perhaps fear) for the unescapable silence, that even makes mechanic waves of noise seem human in a way. Then there's of course the piano, which works as a catalyst for Harmon's slow-burning atmospheres, unsurprisingly also his favourite tool of trade; a cure for absence.
"Without You, I'd Cease" is the second track off
We Are Failed, as you may
want to listen to in whole right here.
