Inland Ocean (cassette)

Inland Ocean is the follow up to Border Menace’s 2018 EP In Sepia [Chemical Imbalance]. Inland Ocean is an allusion to the futile pursuit of seeking the unattainable; the initial excitement and fervour, the dawning and realisation of impossibility, followed by the inevitable, almost euphoric surrender in defeat. The music gives nods to the ambient synth work of early Krautrock pioneers and electronic noise musicians from the late 90s/’00s, [e.g. Mego records, Pan-sonic, Vladislav Delay] and includes vocal additions from Nicole Wojcik, a writer/linguist based in Berlin.
