'We've had the pleasure of working with David Colohan on three of his solo releases so it's a real pleasure to have him back with us a 4th time and this time as part of ever fluid United Bible Studies collective for a new cassette release.

Taking inspiration (and field recordings) from a visit to an old roman cemetery, this captures them at their most atmospheric. The band cite MR James' classic tale "A View From A Hill" but for some reason "Red Shift" by Alan Garner is what plays in my mind as I listen to this. I guess both tales are about a strange coming together of past and present.

That's precisely what happens on Side A of the tape. All the tracks on Side B are assembled together into one piece like a DJ set directed by psychogeography rather than beats. Side B [tracks 2 to 11 of your free download that comes with you pre-order] are the actual individual tracks.' Was Ist Das

The first track is an assemblage of those that appear individually after it.

The title track is based on a field recording we made at the Bartlow Hills in Cambridgeshire, England. The Roman tumuli cemetery was a wonderful discovery for us as we travelled between gigs, with the vista visible from the summit of the largest mound bringing to mind 'A View From A Hill' by M.R. James.

'The music of United Bible Studies always emanates from a place where primal, slightly dangerous forces live.... Conjuring improvisations from pastoral forms and earthy drones, their art teeters between fierce exaltations of the flesh and celestial spiritual journeys.' The Wire ... more
