- Dunn's first physical release since 2014 is part of a split LP with Wayne Robert Thomas.
Canadian ambient and drone artist Kyle Bobby Dunn has a new composition coming out on a split LP with Wayne Robert Thomas for Cincinnati's Whited Sepulchre label.
"The Searchers" is the first work from Dunn to get a physical release since his well-received 2014 album And The Infinite Sadness for Students Of Decay. Dunn named the 20-minute piece after John Ford's 1956 Western film The Searchers, widely considered one of the greatest movies of all time. Whited Sepulchre says the track "meditates on the way in which the imposing expansiveness of the American West worked upon the minds of its inhabitants who fought, lost and did terrible things to each other in their attempt to claim it."
On the record's flip is a piece of similar length from Thomas called "Voyevoda," which marks his vinyl debut. Thomas is an Indianapolis-based guitarist who, as the label puts it, "composes drones like sculpting in wet cement."
The split LP will come in an edition of 250 on cream-colored wax. Watch a preview video below.
Whited Sepulchre is an experimental and ambient label owned by Ryan Hall—who also helps run the music blog Tome To The Weather Machine—that launched in 2016. Other artists who've appeared on the imprint include Braeyden Jae and Ant'lrd.
