Erasers Share New Single & Video For "Easy to See"

Erasers, the Perth, Australia, duo of Rebecca Orchard and Rupert Thomas have been creating wholly immersive desert–dungeon-synth since they formed in 2009. The duo announced their new record, Constant Connection, which is out April 22nd on Fire Talk Record, with the eponymous first single, “Constant Connection”, following it up with “A Breeze”. Today they’re sharing the final single, “Easy To See”, alongside a video directed by Lyndon Blue with abstract landscape textures and inverted colors juxtaposed with a swaying spiderweb. “Easy To See” is a brooding, meditative track, sprawling out while taking stock of their landscape. Tinged with sorrow, the track examines the perceivable effects of humanity’s impact on our environments.

Speaking to “Easy To See” Erasers write; "This was the last song written for the record and really felt like the missing piece of the puzzle. Starting with sounds of nature and a wonky synth loop, we kept things as minimal as possible, giving the words and voice as much room as they needed. The words feel like a fitting match for the mood of the instrumentation in this song, speaking to how as time goes on, we see clearly the impact we have had on our environment. A moody finale to a moody record."

Orchard and Rupert Thomas on guitar and synths, Erasers have developed their earthly kosmische music into an open language based on drone, variation in repetition and minimal song stuctures. Based in Perth, regarded one of the most isolated cities in the world, Orchard and Thomas’s music has brewed in the city’s vibrant DIY/Outsider community and evolved into a meditation on landscape, power, the shadow-world of human emotions and stream of consciousness. Constant Connection, with its waves of sound and chant-like vocals evokes a trance that suggests an infinity just beyond the senses.

At the heart of each Erasers composition is the interplay between the instrumentation, played with stoic restraint and recorded directly with minimal effects and the transcendental states induced in the listener. It’s a magic that is performed in plain sight and all the more powerful for it. The recognisable vibrato of Fender Rhodes keyboards and simple drum machine loops, the subtle strands of analog synth melodies that snake in and out of the ear, above all the towering encantations of Rebecca Orchard’s undeniably Australian-accented hymns; all of this is presented with minimal ostentation and yet it instantly engenders a dream state, hints at an infinity beyond the material.
