Rival Consoles ~ Landscape from Memory

Reid Willis ~ Reliquary

Reliquary proposes the idea of an album as a “living archive,” both tomb and shrine: a sonic snapshot of the artist when the final masters are created.  In the old days, months or even years might pass between recording and distribution;
