Limited Coloured Vinyl - Released on Castles In Space
"Where Trees Go To Die" is the latest offering from Stone Anthem, a hallucinatory journey through ambient textures, dense organic drones, and otherworldly frequencies. Layering field recordings, modular synthesis, and hushed vocals.
Archie says that "The album was created in an attempt to maximise immersion and create a sonic field of bliss, a slow-evolving soundscape where perception bends and time dissolves. Equal parts meditative and disorienting, "Where Trees Go To Die" explores the fertile edges between consciousness and chaos, drawing influence from early and contemporary ambient pioneers, post-industrial decay, and the raw emotional depth of psychedelic states. The album's initial blueprint was created in a quiet hamlet in the Spanish mountains in 2023 with very little equipment. So the scenery of forests and mountains were a great influence on the album's development. This is also from where all of the field recordings on the album were sourced."
Shortly after composing the foundations of the record, Archie honed the tracks at live shows, which encouraged various new creative avenues and the utilisation of new instruments that began to shape the path through the dense light and shade of the music as the album unfolded.
Archie's first album, “Between the Bliss”, featured an analogue, sometimes minimal way of working. Whereas on this record, the embracing of mistakes and errors, leaving them in the music to create a dense marriage of disorientation and beauty was key to bringing this album to life. The thin and delicate line between tumultuous destruction and euphoric beauty is what gives “Where Trees Go To Die” its identity. It steps the path between electronica, ambient and shoegaze.
