Faith Coloccia and Alex Barnett, the duo behind the aptly-named Barnett + Coloccia, are back with a second album for Blackest Ever Black. For Weld, the pair worked with synths (duh), “EVP techniques” (not sure exactly what this means in the context of this particular recording, but it certainly sounds witchy), tape manipulation, drums machines, and wacked-out vocals. It was born of two very different lands: Los Angeles, where it was recorded live at Psychic Western studios, and Vashon Island, WA, where processing and overdubs were applied. Like 2013’s Retrieval, Weld was touched by the gentle hand of Randall Dunn (Earth, Sunn O))), Master Musicians of Bukkake), who mixed the album and performed various dark acts of studio wizardry.
This journey into the gothest version of a Target Soundscapes CD was mastered separately for vinyl and digital by the eminent Mr. James Plotkin (OLD, Khanate). The album drops sometime in late May 2015.
