Haunted weather befalls us with Scott Taylor's second release by Con-v. Dense sleets of rain; night; and static winds unfurl across the urban landscape, draping it as with the veil of the Northern Light. Heavy machinery and scratched & dusty vinyl (ghostly pages of contemporary culture rustled by the passage of time) concur to cushion our fall into the post-natural age. Gravity's embrace extends itself to encompass memory's demise, down into the vortex of melancholy. This vortex; this excavation-site of just the electrific foundations of our modern-day shrines of urban spirituality: this melancholy becomes the center of experience around which agglomerates the ambience of the urbanised ecology of contemporary life: castaway, centripetally, perpetually.
