Followers of the artist Mark Vernon will note a subdued and pensive mood on this new record. Monochrome and sepulchral, these tracks are in a minor key, a key which opens the door to a damp cellar of the imagination. Too-many legged spiders crawl over dusty violins. Time lurches, loops and echoes like excursions on slow motion railways in reverse. Concrète noir sombre séances for non-believers. Tauntological voices from the past provoke us. Half guessed ghosts, magnetic phantoms from funereal-to-reel tape recordings. The sibilant persistence of the deceased evokes the exhausted dread of waiting for a medical test result. Enigmatic messages thrown to the werewolves with nothing but cheap medication and some breathing exercises for support.

Caution: this record can cause dreamless nights.

“Psychedelic visions, blackouts and blinding lights reveal an unusual, sick, and feverish musicality... here the gods come back from the dead only to ensure us an existence nurtured by the freezing rays of a black sun.”

Massimiliano Busti, Blow Up (Feb 2022)

Endorsements....

"At the time I thought we needed a program but having none was the right way. I would have just being a try hard pushing dune pseudo waffle. Most of this music was spontaneous  Therefore it lacked any pretensions about trying to be anything."
..Anton Mullet.

"I really enjoy listening to those early recordings because they bring back the excitement and enthusiasm I used to feel whenever we got together to make music. 
There's some great stuff there: the vague, distant ringing of the telephone combined with the strings and piano allow you to float through a very atmospheric scape. There was something immediately satisfying about the simple methods we'd use to generate and record sounds."
..Ingo Wieben.

"Wow. That's beautiful. And uncanny. I always felt that D27 tapped into something very deep and universal.
It's an extraordinary body of work and so completely ahead of its time. It also has a very timeless quality. Unique and peerless." 
..Ian White.
