(Indie Rock, Psychedelic, Leftfield) Erasers - Stem Together - 2015, MP3, 320 kbps

Perth psych duo Erasers’ debut LP, Stem Together, doesn’t so much instill a trance of consciousness as it does construct a completely alternate universe of nothingness. From front to back, the building, sustenance and layering of sound is wholly effective in engulfing not only the listener, but the entire room. The warming synth, airy phasing and ritualistic vocals of tracks like “By Your Side”, “Returning Home”, and “Leaves” simultaneously empty one’s mind of anything here and now, while filling the entirety of being with a constancy of sound that is almost spiritual in its experience. The unchanging, minimalist percussion (and sometimes no percussion at all, as on “Bright Points”) compliment an uneasy mood and leave the bulk of focus on the huge, encompassing sound of synth drone and Rebecca Orchard’s atmospheric chants. Spurts of reverbed guitar enter sparsely to break up any sense of monotony, its twang offsetting the hum of the environment, and giving an unknowable shape to things. The record ends and the absence of its resonance, is not only noticeable, but profound.
We're psyched to announce the debut LP from Perth Australia based duo Erasers. Weaving hazy psych swirls, churning rhythm and pastel vocals into dense grooving floral compositions. Recalling a variety of our favorite 'slow psych' influencers. Vibes like Pocahanted or early Peaking Lights filtered through the Outback and set adrift. Patience is a virtue and they have it, wrapped up and flowing. After releasing a string of EPs since 2009 "Stem Together" is Erasers first proper full length and first release for Fire Talk. 
"Not quite peyote tea and foreheads daubed with holy ash, but the duo of Rupert Thomas and Rebecca Orchard produce an almost ritualistic pop." - Noisey
