THE TUNNEL's skeletal sounds inhabit a blackened, mythical vision of the Northern California coast, located somewhere between Denis Johnson's derelict-visionary novel ALREADY DEAD and Neil Young's ZUMA.
"CARVER BROTHERS LULLABY" (2009) is THE TUNNEL's debut album, a noir travelogue populated by snake oil salesmen, railway ghosts, and feral fatales. Opening with an ominous burlesque, it quickly expands into spidery Phil-Spectoresque devolutions and spare Swans-scapes, interspersed with various selections from a static-y post-apocalyptic jukebox.
The players are Patrick Crawford and Jeff Wagner, ex-midwesterner alumni of various noisy bands (4192, White Gold, Jumpknuckle, Sharking Teeth) and noisy theater (Circus Proboscis), and introducing the newest, most incendiary addition to THE TUNNEL, Josh Layton!
