another look through the prism to see how the other half lives. elm is the solo guise of jon porras, best known for his adventures as half of the magnificent barn owl. "bxogonoas" is the word used by the muisca people of colombia to describe the mystery of time. elm slows things down to a caustic crawl. these nine tracks are like golden sonic arrows dipped in black blood and shot straight into the heart of the earth. porras is the master arsonist, sacrificing his guitars in effigy, pouring plumes of smoke into the heavens.
"bxogonoas" is dark and cathartic. each sound hangs in the air constantly trying to balance the doom and gloom cascading underneath. porras guides each song through emphatic exercises in ecstatic offerings, like a meticulously choreographed homage to the sun gods. elm is organic reverie, sacred to the last drop. limited to 90 copies.
