Ash Souvenir has to be the best release this year.
Ragana and @drowseportland.bsky.social absolutely crushed it. Haunting, bleak, beautiful.

New song with Ragana out today on @theflenser.bsky.social

In gestalt psychology the “parts,” are defined by the whole, not the other way around: the dark plume of an eruption is made of thousands of fragments of ash, yet we view it as a single giant clouded form.

the vinyl is mixed really well it sounds more impactful than the digital singles. The Spiritual Sound will be most people's Flenser aoty but Ash Souvenir is too tailormade for me specifically for it not to be mine!

Drowse plays Drongofest in Seattle tonight. So many good bands and old friends, be there.

soon asleep is 10 years old today. It almost feels like a different life. I love the bent sounds on this release, the blanket of distortion, but these are the most hopeless Drowse songs and I’m glad I’m in a different place now.
