CASSETTE AVAILABLE SOON VIA PHAGE TAPES

Roman Numeral is proud to announce the release of Scaffolded Dawn – an exquisite body of work from the label alumni Deep Cross. The avant-garde duo’s new album will be released on vinyl via yours truly and the band, and on tape through Phage Tapes.

Two years after the release of the band’s previous album, the acclaimed and well-received Royal Water, Deep Cross returns with something unpredicted yet expected on Scaffolded Dawn. It’s clear for any listener, new or old, that Deep Cross has always flourished through experimentation and left field approach to composing music, with Scaffolded Dawn mostly abandoning the familiar post-punk and industrial aspects in favour of hymnal ambiances, massive drones, and noise sculptures otherwise characterised as songs.

Utilizing treated vocal drones, tape, modular synth and an array of found sounds, on the new album, Deep Cross delivers seven tracks of heavy Devotional Electronics. Blistering and crude yet ecstatic and sacred, Scaffolded Dawn focuses on transition points where tempers blur beyond ideas of convention. In each track discomfort, overcoming, decay, lure, attraction and beauty inhabit an axis of equal reign where multitudes thrive.

With particularly eye-catching artwork photography by Linda Troeller, Scaffolded Dawn unfolds to the listener in ways untold, being built on layers upon layers of transcendental and sensory sounds ranging from soft huffs to caustic atonal walls, ebbing and flowing in capricious manner throughout its duration. While the framework is well established from the first seconds on, Deep Cross offers a distinct aural landscape of their own for you to explore.
