Liquid Culture by Sclerotia
When experiencing the threat of cold and harsh environments, some fungi will harden to create a protective outer layer called “Sclerotia”. In this album we have attempted to paint a pastiche of the cold and harsh environment in which we have found ourselves today. Let this liquid culture inoculate your mind with the emotional reality of our hostile world. This album represents more than a year of writing, recording, mixing, remixing, re-recording, more mixing, and eventually we mastered it — we only hope that you enjoy this labor of love as much as we enjoyed making it. Thank you for listening.
