The new album from
400 Lonely Things
, produced by
William Basinski
, is a dark ambient, sample-based séance to the Banning Mill -- a real-life decaying "mansion" and haven for artists, freaks, and misfits in the backwoods of the American Deep South in the 1970s-1990s -- and an extraordinary piece of art that lived there. An archaeological excursion in found sound -- wandering through the art and memory of a real place,
Mother Moon
is an origin story for 400 Lonely Things. In the '90s,
Craig Varian
was fortunate enough to frequent the Mill in the years before it closed. It was here that he was exposed to the artwork of
Richard Scott Hill
, whose artwork "Minotauress" graces the album cover. His work both captured and fed into the Mill's sinister yet playful undercurrents of mania and depression. This album, born out of that first visit to the Mill, is an imaginary soundtrack to the many years of solitude the Minotauress spent hanging in the musty, secret winding halls of Banning Mill. Since the days of the Mill (and Varian's subsequent purchase of "Minotauress" shortly before the Mill closed), Craig Varian, along with best friend and late musical partner
Jonathan McCall
, found a thread of music they'd been consistently making yet had previously failed to notice -- melancholic instrumentals with weathered sampling at its core -- going back to their earliest recordings in the late 1980s. Eventually, this music was called 400 Lonely Things. Six-panel, spot-varnished digipak. "
Mother Moon
is a cypher that saves an important hidden fragment of cultural history from erasure

is darkness calling. It will take you to the outer limits and leave you there. Guaranteed to twist your mind
