The House They Haunt Is You has been super productive since my last blog post about him. "Forgotten Life (1991 - )" is his most recent album, inspired by SALEM, Shlohmo and found footage recordings - to which I'd also add the vibe of Lorn trying his hand at ambient. The lo-fi aesthetic is present from the very first track, which kicks off with a sample of someone loading a tape into a player and pressing play. Alex says he was aiming for a deteriorated sound with lots of delay, and the result is exactly that: sixteen tracks of gritty, eerie tension. The more I listened to this, the more it grew on me. Great stuff.
