Geneva Skeen

★★★ Double Bind ROOM40. CD/DL

With her second full-length LP for Lawrence English’s Room40 label, LA-based Geneva Skeen captures the sonic chaos of life on the West Coast in 2020. A muted buzz of panicked voices, helicopter drone and bushfire crackle and female choirs that sound like ghosts of the apocalypse. Ambient music as Earth chaos, this is the soundtrack to the one nature documentary you hope will never be made.
