Waves of Quietus

by Burial Grid

supported by

Mr. Conner A striking surreal soundscape with a cold atmosphere built from a diverse set of digitally sticky textures, including bouncing of synthetic balloons, metal raindrops, and crystals refracting light. The experience feels simulated as your brain is electrically stimulated through experimentation, the static residue left to diffuse through the microscopic crevasses in the tissue, eventually sucked up by the dendrites.

about

Recorded Jan and Feb 2021 + Jan 2023

Largely improvised, Quietus was recorded during the same sessions as Shores of Quiddity and acts as a type of sister album. Initially an endeavor to create music to help him sleep during a period of intense anxiety and chronic insomnia, the two albums have two distinct narrative flavors, despite being conceived at the same time. Whereas Shores of Quiddity wryly sounds like meditation music blossoming inside an anxiety-infested mind, Waves of Quietus finds a type of despairing solitude. Western chromatic music looms large, but feels broken into decrepit jetsam floating on a disintegrating iceberg. The language of pop and ambient music is scrambled and destroyed with the abuse of compression, outdated and dysfunctional recording media, and purposefully degraded instrumentation. It plays like an omniscient creator roaming a now-barren planet, helpless to undo its demise. Waves of Quietus will be the final release bearing the Burial Grid name, as Kozak excitedly looks to the future of creating more immersive multimedia projects under his own name.

NIGHT LIGHTS
by ALONE 1980

This album literally sounds as though synths are playing themselves through layers of toxic mold, making them sick and weak in the process. Equally soothing and alarming. Burial Grid

More Than A Feline
by Cat Temper

Fun and addictive and pushing synthwave into post-modern Dadaist territory. Burial Grid

The Gilded Cage EP
by Ghost Called Misery

A meticulously-detailed, lush update on early British proto-synthpop. Think the downcast landscapes of The Human League: Reproduction leveled up in sonic sensibilities. Burial Grid

Malediction Boulevard EP

filled to bursting with horror and bugs, but also extremely addictive synth and guitar work. instances of industrial synth and gothic rock, with a terrible feeling of dread permeating it that I adore. so much to love in such a small package. very solid, sinister release. palehorse666

Choke
by Alpha Chrome Yayo

supported by 8 fans who also own “Waves of Quietus”

I’ve always loved the funky side of Alpha. But the dark, wonderfully creepy ballads shine on this album! Tracks like Snuff ‘Em Out (my fav thx to a vid Alpha shared last month), Veins or Meat Ribbons are amazing. Synthwave sounds stale to me lately because of similar sound, omnipresent arpeggiators, weak melodies and basic harmonic structure, but Alpha’s unusual chord progressions as well as comparatively exotic melodies entertain me. I’ll be returning to this EP a lot; happy for the cas Tichounko
