Drowning in Sand

- -

Drowning in sand first came into being as a form of sentience, which birthed itself from the collaborative efforts, sounds, wailings, and audial scrawlings of two beings, Jeckyll and Helvete, two westerners making sense of the urban wastelands and post-modern environments of Japan, where the two have been staying for quite some time. Both shared a love of surrealist experimental music, dark ambient soundscapes, and audial deconstructivism. The music of Drowning in sand is, much like the name suggests, emersive, elemental, and textured. We aim to draw the listener into a certain dreamstate which unites consciousness and primal instinct. Drowning in sand is best listened to at times when dream and reality become indivisible.
