In den Worten des Labels Abhorent AD heißt es: “Things start off with subdued crackling and rumbling only to drop off into a series of hazy ambient wall noise pieces slowly receding further and further into a void of nothingness. If you stare at the albums cover while listening, you might imagine something slowly scraping along the abstract reef-like surface during the first track before descending into the black areas within the cracks and holes, becoming increasingly darker as the album unfolds”. “Cratera” ist Thar Deserts erstes physisches Release – neben der CDr ist es auch zum Download erhältlich.

“New full length album from the always ambitious Sam McKinlay, an innovator responsible for single-handedly developing new types of noise and obsessively studying them…pushing himself to discover various approaches to channel his interests into THE RITA. Always one step ahead, intuitively moving forward and transforming/deconstructing his sound just as it starts to become arrogated by imitators. Sam doesn’t follow trends, he sets them by unapologetically doing things his own unique way…this is just one aspect that should influence other artists, not to just discover your own sound and themes, but to continuously maintain an engaged dedication to it.” (AAD)
