In September 2014, in the Galloway forest in Scotland, sound artist Frenchbloke curated The Dark Outside, a 24 hour radio broadcast of previously unheard music by artists from all over the world. Two of those artists were Laica and Joe Ahmed, friends who had not communicated with each other about creating pieces for the broadcast, in conversation after the event they spoke about swapping the music the had both created out of a mutual interest and discovered that both pieces shared similar themes, in due course a decision was made to release them both as a split album.
These two sprawling 20-minute electronic pieces offer both crackling, otherworldly textures and moments of surprising beauty. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 15, 2023
