Sounds of the Geographically Challenged

by Temporary Residence Ltd.

supported by

Matt Nichols 20+ yrs of underground trailblazing and TRL has secured their rightful place in indie music's pantheon. early output like this allowed curious seekers (me) to discover sounds diverse in style, mood, intent, regional scene, etc. sure, they first lured me in with EITS – but soon i found a catalogue that remains intriguing, challenging, rewarding. this comp's very special to me + also emblematic of their enduring impact on and heartfelt devotion to true, authentic art. i owe TRL so much. thank you. Favorite track: Over New Fields (Edit).

about

Sounds of the Geographically Challenged was intended to be a four part series of limited 12"s, but delays and natural disasters kept the project from being completed with only 3 of the 4 singles seeing the light of day. And since the vinyl versions sold out long ago and now fetch frustratingly high bids on eBay, we have compiled this CD containing most of the tracks from the series (including the final unreleased 12"). It's been a long time coming, but it's certainly well worth the wait. Includes exclusive, otherwise unavailable tracks from Retsin, Liquorice, Hz Roundtable, Songs: Ohia, drona parva, Continental OP (Will Oldham & David Pajo), Windsor For The Derby, The For Carnation, The Sonora Pine, Haelah, Ruby Falls, Halifax Pier and more. take a deep breath as you listen to one of the best compilations ever made.

In the ethereal realm of Explosions in the Sky's album, "The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place," lyrics yield to the poetry of instrumentation. The melancholic ambiance unfurls as a poignant revelation, echoing the profound beauty that transcends the need for verbal expression. An evocative masterpiece, where every note narrates a story only the heart can comprehend. giovannilauffer
