sunn O))) gave extreme focus and care to each step and aspect of the recording, each tone and level of saturation, each gain stage and speaker, each arrangement and harmonic. The Pacific Northwest forest is our guide.
“Eternity’s Pillars” is named for the mid-1980s television program created and hosted by jazz visionary and spiritual guru Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, focusing on her incessant belief in music’s capacity to attain spiritual transcendence. “Raise the Chalice” is named for a rallying cry often uttered by Northwest legend Ron Guardipee throughout the mid-1990s. “Reverential” equally pays respect and sends loud praise to those who came before us with the heaviest burdens, expressions with music and art being the materials of an antiphon.
The front cover of the maxi 12” depicts the duo in the woods northeast of Seattle, through the lens of Charles Peterson.
