"An absolute godsend...the husband/wife duo of Zachary and Denny Wilkerson Corsa lead what is possibly the most consistently fascinating and wonderful shoegaze/drone project around…when I say that Don't Go Down to Lonesome Holler could have probably been an equally brilliant six- or nine-hour album, it is not hyperbole…this album is an absolute revelation…it all fits together perfectly into an immersive and truly mind-expanding tour de force…if these truly are the end times, at least we got an absolutely stunning album out of it as a consolation prize. I realize it is only July, but I feel quite confident in declaring this to be my favorite album of the year, as trying to imagine anything more ambitious, zeitgeist-capturing, and visionary being released between now and December makes my synapses fizzle and smoke." - Brainwashed
“Their newest, and most impressive, full-length…a particularly beautiful assemblage of ambient Americana…a fascinating, beautiful, thought-provoking and engaging listen that you will want to revisit again and again.” - Spectrum Culture
“Truly immersive…a stunning dronegaze saga.” - US Rocker

Memphis kittycatgaze collective. Magpie Corsa (mostly guitars) + Denny Wilkerson Corsa (mostly field recordings) + various accomplices abroad. Mid-fi at best + DIY as fuck forever. Don't ask us to turn down.
B.E. Conley, armed with trusty Tele and lap steel, carves weary fever dreams and dust-demon mirages from raw materials and surplus entropy. The world is and isn't beautiful. This is our small victory. Nonconnah
Half-fucked drone incantations and bleeding-limb fuzz rot. Scarred pagan struggle against or alongside darkness. This is the future we'll inherit. It's a cathartic one. The resurrection falls upon us. Nonconnah
Casting out spirits in the name of science. Learning lab dust on cassette, Erlenmeyer flasks and mysterious sunshine. Something watches from beyond the frame. The world stills. Lovely dread seeps in. Nonconnah
