Poet, artist and Daughters vocalist Alexis Marshall has announced his solo debut album House Of Lull . House Of When for July 23rd via Sargent House and along with it the first song and video for Hounds In The Abyss. Directed by Jeremy W., Marshall notes of the videos concept The long stare into the room of selfthe universes middle distancethe many hidden doors we locate, the many rooms we find. Populated not only by whom else we are, but by places we have been. The places we are. We dont always pull away from the hot stove.

Produced by Seth Manchester the album is crafted around moments of spontaneity and sonic detritus. For it Marshall brought together an impressive group of collaborators to execute his vision, a vision that for the first time was under his full creative direction. Jon Syverson (Daughters) and Evan Patterson (Jaye Jayle, Young Widows) joined Marshall in Pawtucket, Rhode Island at Machines with Magnets studio with no material. The strategy was to embrace new sounds, employ the element of chance, and capture the creative process in a song format. The genesis of a song could be anythinga fragmented piano line, a drum patternbut the impetus was often a non-musical sound. Marshall sourced a lot of his textural contributions from a hardware store all contributing to a proto-industrial rattle-and-rumble reminiscent of early Einstrzende Neubauten. The resulting material stands to be the boldest and exciting work of his career.
