#MarrowHymns the anticipated new full-length from #NewYorkCity / #Portland -based instrumental duo #INSECTARK will see official unveiling tomorrow via #ProfoundLoreRecords In advance of its release, today Noisey offers up a full stream of the captivating offering noting, "the duo of #DanaSchechter and #AshleySpungin turn adversity into triumph, forging a bleak, blasted brand of instrumental ambience that has found an equally happy home with UK-based micro label Lancashire & Somerset (home to the ever-excellent Enablers) as experimental lodestone Utech or the blown-out, art-fucked realm of Sleeping Giant Glossolalia." @maentglobal #maentglobal (at Orange County, CA)

@earsplitcompound @earsplitpr @maentglobal @maentglobal_dtown.j.brown @hardrockcore @lizsplit @insectark @profoundlorerecords Comprised of #DanaSchechter (M. Gira's Angels Of Light, Wrekmeister Harmonies, Zeal & Ardor, Gnaw) and #AshleySpungin (Taurus, Purple Rhinestone Eagle, Negative Queen), #INSECTARK intensely visual music weaves interludes of fragile beauty with crushing passages of swirling doom, spinning like a backwards fever dream. #MarrowHymns is a wordless song, a hypnotic voice that screams and whispers from a place deep in the furrows, from the bones, from the blood. Defying easy categorization, INSECT ARK's uncommon sound is in part the amalgamation of these two women's passions: Schechter's sinister bass lines and unconventional use of lap steel guitar (and her complete omission of electric guitar), and Spungin's lucid, exacting drumming and synth work with her own hand-built analog noise pedals (Ormus Electronics).
