A Scene in a Cafe

After releasing several EPs and singles via Berlin-based labels Mannequin Records and aufnahme + wiedergabe, 2025 finds Joshua Strachan releasing two full length records as Desolation Colony. The first, A Rapture of Blooming Revenge, was released on Phage Tapes in May and sketched a post-extinction far future of expansive and disturbing proportions. The Impossibility Of Haunting A Barren World for Throne Heap finds the project putting aside its aggressive beat-driven sound for a more abstract, textural approach. Mixed by Kris Lapke (Alberich), mastered by Grant Richardson, and featuring contributions from Thomas Boettner (Straight Panic, Secret Historian) and auxiliary statics from Tom Moore, The Impossibility Of Haunting A Barren World presents yet another stark vision of impending collapse. It's a ruthless exploration of the psychologies and technologies of modern necropolitics conducted with grinding analog electronics and abrasive collaged samples. Death is not a dramatic spectre in these proceedings, but an unassuming footsoldier of inevitable consequence: "Everything ends at my feet, nothing as it began."
