Erasers is the project of Perth based duo comprised of Rebecca Orchard and Rupert Thomas. According to their bio, they have been creating wholly immersive desert–dungeon-synth since they formed in 2009. They have announced the release of a new album called Constant Connection, which is out on April 22nd via Night School Records (UK/EU) & Fire Talk Records (US/ROW). Title-track is the first excerpt.
They explain: “The core of this song came together quickly over the course of a morning writing session. As many good ideas do, this one seemed to gel in the space of a few minutes, the drum rhythm, bassline, and repeated synth melody sat well together immediately. While we haven’t played this one much in the live realm yet, when we have it’s been a joy to play. Often you get tired and bored of your own songs, but there’s something about this one that just sits really well with us, so it seems fitting to have named the album after it. As usual, layers of synth and keys whirl around over the top of a classic Rupert drum loop. Voice is used almost as another instrument, making melodies and repetitions on the delicate nature of existing in the world and the strength in connection”.
