More Info "Banks Bailey hails from Tucson, Arizona, a region renowned for its natural wonders... mostly there, he selectively captures sounds, letting them tell intimate stories, and interact with our own trajectories... Brought into the light by Ian Holloway and his Quiet World imprint, he has entrusted him with his eloquent "still lifes", translating them into a few rather remarkable collabs, notably with Ian himself ("A Brief Sojourn") and Ian augmented by the presence of drone-cult figure Darren Tate ("Summerland")... His solo outing ("Vibrations from the Holocene") showed his strength in assembling fascinating soundscapes while using simple, sometimes commonplace, elemental field recordings... Upstream memories flow into our veins like a dense river... Dark night is howling, and fatherly words still resound in our ears... Lonely drops punctuate the drift, echoes of dust, and past activities, tiny jerks of life, A ceaseless wandering... Glide along the twists & turns, groping for another moment of truth, dragging the remains on the banks, "Upwelling" is a lantern, an improbable guiding gleam... a deep voice, articulating our innermost fears... a sort of supreme loop, where start & end meet, leaving us naked, washed out, just virginal, once again..."
