Kaye Song's collaboration with slowcore band deatchrash

"A set of earthen images were made for deathcrash's debut LP, Return. They were taken from the peat bog landscape of the Hatfield Moors, almost a year after it was devastated by fire in May 2020 (which burned for more than 10 days). Blackened birches and crusted bark-like ground made green moss pop like neon in a landscape that’s been exploited, extracted, cut and re-cut for fuel since the 13th century. Today, it’s a nature reserve and SSSI with an incredible calm amidst a sense of hope of what might follow all the past and recent destruction - a tone the underpins the music in Return."

Kaye Song's collaboration with slowcore band deatchrash.

"The imagery for Less was made in a fortnight on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. The cover of the record features a mobile installation that I designed, made out of an abstracted drawing of the landscape and cut in aluminium. It was flat-packed and taken on a 700-mile journey with us - shapeshifting into different configurations at each site on the Isle that it encountered. It becomes a mirror for the land; for seeing its ridges, layers, its ability to evolve under human and non-human forces. Combined with suites of imagery taken around the isle that in their own ways attempt to dig beneath the visible surface of a place, what is presented with Less is an evocation of a landscape and its resistance to homogeneity."
