(Ramble Records)
Australian import, limited edition 2 disc set in gatefold sleeve.
Out of Nevada, Blake Edward Conley's Droneroom 'My Marionette Days are Over' is the debut release for Ramble - a haunting, cinematic soundtrack into the heart of the desert. Drone, slide, fingerpicking, reverbed-twang and heavy AF fuzz all feature - sometimes gorgeous, ethereal and gentle, other times brooding, and menacing like zombies wandering about in an apocalyptic wasteland.
All tracks Recorded at Here There Are No Answers in Las Vegas, Nevada.
