       Daniel Menche's isolation album attempts to capture the feeling of being
lost and abandoned, and the PDX extreme music legend does this by avoiding
obvious noise tropes, instead bathing himself in echoed-out resonant drones.

Yeah sure we've had a lot of quarantine albums to sift through over the last few
months - some of them on Room 40! - but Menche's two-headed "Forlorn" is a
doomed dive into the psyche that's worth taking. The Pacific North Western
veteran takes a restrained approach here, working with "a big gigantic dark
forest of drones" that sound as if they've been carefully generated and pushed
to the limits of saturation. The result is a sound that is both ugly and
electronic, and mimics the tidal feedback you might expect to hear from early
Earth or Sunn O))) material. 

Menche wants these tracks to sound foreboding - "getting lost seems to be the
main goal and intention of my musical work over the past 30 years," he admits.
But there's cracks of light in there somewhere, at times, the music echoes the
deep listening drones of Eliane Radigue or Eleh, but more often than not it sits
closer to Kevin Drumm's isolationist double-act "Imperial Distortion" and
"Imperial Horizon".
