During March 2019, confined to an old cabin perched on the side of a remote valley in country Victoria, Horace Bones wrote and recorded for nine days and nights. Under the benevolent eye of acclaimed producer and dear friend Dan Caz, as well as a local mob of kangaroos, Terra was devised and recorded live and straight to tape.
It is a merciless exploration of the shadows lingering in the deepest corners of the Australian psyche. An apocalyptic view of a society’s devastating attempt to forge identity while addressing/suppressing the ferocity of its present and past.
Encapsulated by the desperate cries of “Don’t come around here” and “I’m not from around here”, vocalist Oisin tells stories of “bigoted baby boomers expiring in pokie filled RSLs; bored youths desecrating churches; merciful murders in drought ridden farmhouses; an immigrant watching a country burn; a tortured conscience turning the knife on his butchering family and a storm-swept childhood memory of a caravan park tragedy.”
The music beats demonically across the land and sweeps wildly, tearing and pulsing like Cyclone Everyone, swirling with the debris of their influences – The Birthday Party, The Drones, Kev Carmody and Mod Con to name a few.
