about

Recorded between February - May 2021 at FoCo Zodiak Sound Lab in the Horsetooth Mountains.

"Teotihuacán is a completely different beast. Named after the ancient Mesoamerican city which lies in the Valley of Mexico, just north of that country's capital city, Pärk takes us on a journey via the Pyramid of the Sun, along the Avenue of the Dead to the Pyramid of the Moon.

It's a journey of discovery, a spiritual exhumation which reveals the mysteries that lie at the heart of this once-vast population centre. The Avenue is the key to understanding this place and the opening track, 'Pyramid of the Sun - Pyramid of the Moon - Feathered Serpent' maps out its route from the two opposing towering edifices through the Temple of Quetzalcoatl.

From this call to the spirits of the past it is clear they do not dance to earthly rhythms and for over sixteen minutes we experience a broken serenade that helps to encourage the ancient mysteries into the light.

'Existential Tempel Crisis', the shortest track here, breaks down the barriers which allows connection as we walk down the 'Avenue Of The Dead'. This is a thirteen-minute journey where dispossessed synths guide us along the path, seeing but barely stirring the ancient ghosts.

'Unknown Origins' begins to hint at other-worldly influences with its angular rhythms, stuttering guitars and alien synths. Only then can the 'City Of The Sun' be revealed openly. It rumbles with discontent as it considers what it has lost and its growl builds in strength to become all-encompassing. All the time strings tinged with sadness reflect its emptiness and ultimate impotence. What was is not what is. Bridges are broken.

The closer 'Sun Pyramid' ducks behind a primitive beat, but cannot hide. The sun is just the nearest star and many have been passed by and the synths shine with memories of their glow.

There are visions of galaxies, nearly forgotten, as alien visions escape from dreams. There's an overriding sadness to this collection, though it is far from bleak. It drips spirituality and mystery and a detachment that is quite overwhelming.

Teotihuacán is available in a run of just fifty hand numbered CDRs housed in an ecosleeve and including an insert and a download code. Get in there quickly." - Adam Hammond, Isolated Records (UK)
