This melted into the background while I was cooking and became something incredibly haunting and unsettling, not unpleasantly so, in the ways that my fave Godspeed! You Black Emperor songs do, leaving me with the sense that something has stalked across my grave and left the future so subtly changed, but with no memory of how.
Beautiful.
holy CARPS! i love how differently these turned out. you are amazing 
ps: i hope yr drummer doesn't turn into a globule.

Really cool to listen to this back to back with jwh's track. Having read that they came from the same session, I can kind of hear it, but I wouldn't have necessarily guessed it. His version felt a little ominous, but this one is haunting and apocalyptic. In an awesome way, of course.
Starts off all dreamy and then pulls into some darker early Pink Floyd psychedelia. Very cool.
Haven't listened to JWH's track yet, but what a cool way to make some music. And WOW, I'm always really impressed with the emotional content that comes through in you're work, but this had such a visceral energy to it... the processing really creates a dark and powerful space to inhabit, and the vocals are... evocative doesn't capture it... like I found myself lost somewhere between pure feeling and deep introspection. Wonderful work. Off to JWH's to hear how differently it turned out.
wow going from jwh's to this was like a seamless album deep cut. the dance back and forth on the chord progression is so hypnotic. love how your vocals soar above the wreckage. what a trip from beginning to end.
This is fantastic. What a strange journey. Magnificently sound scapes. Love it.
Oh, this is the tension I'm lookin for. yeah this feels about right. what a jam, very satisfying!
So cool to hear what you two did in the same jam session. Haunting vocals. You two ARE the coolest.
such a cute collab i love you guys.
this track reminds me of these endtimes we are living in. it's nicely made, and it's good artistry to be representative of the times. I'm just not sure I can deal with it much these days... really wishing and hoping things get better. keep making music tho!
An appropriately tough-minded track! Great bass, loving the reverb-soaked drums...and it's still all a beautiful package.
Have you heard JRLP's cover of "Guns of Brixton"? It's an all-timer for me.
Great!
Love JWH more concise version as well, but your in-front vocals here are very cool.
Super concept.
Surprinsingly I had never heard the clash song... chilling. (I only had heard a cover and had no idea x_X)
Love your voice in this, raw and haunting
It's so cool to hear the core of the track shining in two different lights. The underlying material's riveting, and you and jwh did such awesome work giving it your own spins! The effects and reverb at play here really capture the haunting vibe you described above.
This was dark and chilled at the same time. I enjoyed this version too.
Fascinating song! Feels like I'm being possessed.
Also love the way you managed to translate the raw emotion of what's going on in our world right now...
I think you out-spooked jwh with this one. The wordless vocals at the beginning and around the 5-minute mark may have helped. Somehow more understated and also more aggressive.
this is great wow the peak it builds too is incredible, so haunting
This is spectacularly haunting. The way the ethereal vocals float over the instrumentation beneath is really lovely. It makes me feel like I'm standing in a long dark corridor that doesn't seem to end.
Really enjoy the concept of this starting from a shared jam, and very impressed at how both pieces have come out so differently!
Also this was all laptop microphone??? The character of it is wonderful.
Love everything about this, absolutely was lost in it when listening. Tip of the hat for your ability to mute the world for 6 minutes for me, at least. With hope and wishes of sanity in this very insane time,
Haunting, I enjoyed. Agree with the Twin Peaks comment above. Awesome collab project, going to go listen to jwh next. Love the that Clash song you quoted. One my fave bands. Cheers to survivin!
What a great idea, I listened to jwh first, so interesting how different these turned out, initially I thought maybe will sound more like a remix, but they are two completely different compositions. It sounds like we are now listening to the perspective of the ghost that was lurking in the room while jwh was recording in his studio, amazing!
Wow so cool! Super interesting to hear two pieces using the same material. Really shows how many possible places there are to go with the music. They’re very different but at the same time they feel like a set. One long and distant the other shorter and closer. Listening one after the other is kind of a seemless experience. Interesting experiment and amazing music!
Markedly different from Josh's version. Quite something that this is based on the same source material. Fortunately I don't have to choose which I like better, they are both excellent. Like they are both on the same sountrack, but yours is more of an eerie/quietly menacing slow burn moment building up to some event in the movie.
Actually, this could work pretty well as a Side A/Side B single. Or two parts of the same track on a record, opening and closing the album respectively.
ya’ll thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful responses to this piece/experiment
i don’t usually write tracks that long but i also kinda melted into it when making it - nice to hear a few of you were also sufficiently haunted & transported by it
this is not the first time folks have given me feedback of ‘twin peaks’ vibes with my stuff and it has me curious as i’ve tried a few times to watch this & always tapped out - i’ve heard some of the music & like it - but it’s not ever been something i spent a lot of time with - i’m gonna guess heavy reverb is involved…?
this little short warmed my heart
i had written some things about the history of that song & what it brings up - but decided to just let the track speak for itself right now as words and information feel like too much today
wishing you peace & love WB folks

It's a little bit the reverb (especially on the drums), but it's also the dingy club after dark type vibe. I strongly recommend twin peaks, and I think the return especially is one of the finest pieces of television ever made. You really do need to watch the first two seasons to appreciate the return, but if you do give it another shot my suggestion is that you skip basically the second half of season 2 (when David Lynch left), watch the finale, then fire walk with me, then the return.

Beautiful.
I'm desperately diggin' trough my CD collection looking for that Kranky Records compilation... The Godspeed! You Black Emperor reference is totally on point 
Super evocative and eerie... in a good way. Hypnotic !!!
(actually i wanted to play mine for j but he said we made an agreement...)
