Spiteful Geyser by Vanderlay

Upfront, I should say that I’ve never been to Spiteful Geyser. I know that it’s in Yellowstone National Park, somewhere near Wyoming in the US, but outside of that, I couldn’t tell you much else. My partner’s been there. She said it’s nice.

Geysers erupt when superheated water rapidly converts to steam, and breaks through the earth’s surface. Both as a natural phenomenon and a metaphor, I’ve always been fond of the image. The idea that things can surface, sight unseen, and dismantle your foundations is both beautiful and terrifying. The songs on this record are about these kind of changes; about willing them, denying them, and re-orientating yourself in the aftermath.

This EP was brought to life by a wonderful group of people over a period of three years. We recorded the bulk of the record in our hometown of Melbourne, at the Aviary Studios in Abbotsford. In late 2017 we traveled to a small recording studio in Italy, a few hours south of Turin to record electric guitars and vocals. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind to pull it all together but we couldn’t be happier with the result.

Thanks for listening,
Caspar Conrick & Vanderlay
