400 Lonely Things
Quietly intense, dense, and claustrophobic - yet offset by its relentlessly hypnotic nature and tactile, bubbling textures. You'll get the bends, but you won't mind. A glorious mix of Night That Thunders by Rapoon and Fishy by Mookoid, this is THE must-have album for your bathysphere. Recommended.
Favorite track: Sunken Phantoms / Hollow Earth.

Kinda making me want to go run through the woods in the middle of the night (which I would think about seriously doing if there weren't so many bears around where I live).
Joe Borreson
Deep dark murky underwater drone like you've never heard. This feels like the soundtrack to play once you've crashed your boat and succumbed to an oceanic storm, or been lulled to the depths by sirens.
Aquatic, dense murkiness. Very unique sounds here.
RIYL: The Sight Below or GAS on the last two tracks specifically....
Lost Tribe Sound
Started as a simple concept of exploring the Arrowound sound within the expanse of aquatic lore, quickly evolved into a storyline regarding an unnamed nautical exploration attempt that tragically unravels. Ultimately, this results in the title character being trapped below the surface by an event. Struggling with fear, paranoia and hallucinations brought on by sensory deprivation & oxygen levels, the diver fights to make sense of what is real and what is imagined in the depths.

‘The Loneliness of the Deep Sea Diver’ is the second release in Lost Tribe Sound’s Fearful Void Series. The album arrives courtesy of Arrowounds, the experimental electronic project of Ryan S Chamberlain.
What began for Chamberlain as a simple concept of exploring his sound within the expanse of aquatic lore, quickly evolved into a storyline regarding an unnamed nautical exploration attempt that tragically unravels. Ultimately, this results in the title character being trapped below the surface by an event. Struggling with fear, paranoia and hallucinations brought on by sensory deprivation & oxygen levels, the diver fights to make sense of what is real and what is imagined in the depths.
The themes of ‘The Loneliness…’ became sort of an analogy of Chamberlain’s feelings in his role as a caregiver to someone close to him suffering through cancer treatments, the confusion and loss of power and understanding in the midst of such a trying experience. Struggling for clarity in the quieter moments and using sound to maintain a semblance of balance and buoyancy in life, these recording sessions provided clarity for Chamberlain. The music allowed him to communicate emotions he was unable to fully comprehend or verbalize.
It began with what Chamberlain calls "tape loop therapy.” He started to spend time layering loops and sounds, rhythm and decay. It became a sort of meditation process of strictly being in the moment and not worrying about an end result. Only after a few weeks did patterns begin to take shape and songs begin to emerge. Small glimmers in a sea of obscured sound. A pair of dual works were extracted, each exploring different facets of this unique and trying time. ‘The Loneliness of the Deep Sea Diver’ represents the insular or hermetic portion of these sessions, while ‘The Oncotype Sketchbook’ (out now on Pyramid Blood Recordings) incorporates more of the hospital field recordings and an overall narration of the entire cancer survivor experience.
The results are startling and surreal in their openness, while also emotionally complex for a multitude of reasons. Chamberlain would be satisfied if even a fraction of this translates during the listening experience. Though, we here at LTS believe that in some ways his feelings of claustrophobia, isolation, lack of control, and the ultimate leveling off of emotion that comes with acceptance, just might land close to home for many.
"The sounds are deep and as heavy as an anchor. Some are suspended, floating in the sea, while other segments squeal like a hulk of rusting metal. You can brace for impact, but in this record, the impact is a distant, fragmented memory, blurred by the blue and a slow suffocation as equipment is drained of oxygen" - (James Catchpole) FLUID RADIO
"The music is an ever moving beast that mutates between the styles that it encompasses. At times you are taken into murky depths, industrial like soundscapes, icy cold terrains with transmissions from the other side, dark squalls, sounds of things breaking down and the occasional four on the floor beat." - DRIFTING, ALMOST FALLING
"Chamberlain's dark ambience is far from static, traversed as it is by vibrations, beats and synthetic currents that are impetuous at times, which introduce enveloping and even harmonious dynamics into his tormented poetry that plumbs the liquid depths of the human soul." (translated from Italian) - MUSIC WON'T SAVE YOU
"In one pressurised, sensually-depraved, and dizzying experience, Arrowounds pulls you down to the ocean bed and holds you there until any nurturing thoughts of solidity and hope are vanquished. This is no standard ambient electronic project; this is a hefty dose of the unknown..." - (Ashley Jacob) EVERYTHING IS NOISE
"It's unusual to hear (instrumental) music that's so successful in conjuring forth a particular, personal experience." - (Peter Hollo) UTILITY FOG
"Like a muffled and pulsating hybrid, somewhere between the Future Sound of London and Gas, The Loneliness of the Deep Sea Diver pulls you down into its murky, dense, and sensory-deprived world of grimy vibrations, whispering voices, and shuffling beats." - HEADPHONE COMMUTE
"It is a play of light and darkness, surface and depth, and beautiful and ugly, with which Chamberlain manages to deliver a whole that grabs by the throat." - (translated from Dutch) (JW Broek) DE SUBJECTIVISEN

Like you walked into the club just after taking some really strong psychoactives. Settled into a plush velvet couch, at first you're just digging the swinging band, and before you know it you've been staring at your hand for 20 minutes and trying to remember where you are. padredre

Very raw and engaging. Fragile vocals, hushed, minimal arrangements, and richly textured instrumental tones. Gives me Mark Hollis vibes. Some really interesting and subtle rhythmic ideas here, too. padredre
