The Quiet Earth Beneath
An earthy, delicate, & devastating concept album about things that vanish; a strange, rich, & lyrical exploration of the liminal & the unseen.
A new collaboration between Casey Jay Andrews (Punchdrunk) & Jack Brett (Sleep Walking Animals), fusing lyrical, narrative poetry with live music & experiments in sound. Exploring traditional folklore & urban legends that tell tales of disappearance, seeking stories where beauty & dread coexist.
“Into the underland we have long placed that which we fear and wish to lose, & that which we love and wish to save” Robert Macfarlane
