Limited edition grey vinyl. Like a beam of light cascading through walls of dark matter, Mesarthim voyages into the greatest of unknowns. They acknowledge the terrifying vastness with throat shredding rasps and frigid tremolo picking lines while affirming the glorious wonder through shimmering synth pads and driving rhythm. Absence encapsulates the fear and awe humanity feels towards the outer reaches of the universe, securing the Australian duo's place within underground music and the ongoing exploration of space.
