Description
A haunting reflection on grief, memory, and the erosion of time, 'Lamentations' finds William Basinski at his most emotionally resonant since 'The Disintegration Loops'. Composed from tape loops and archival recordings dating back to 1979, the album is a decades-spanning tapestry of loss—each track unfolding like a slow exhale from a forgotten past. Operatic fragments and ambient textures drift through cavernous silence, forming an abyssal beauty rooted in absence.
More than just a meditation on decay, 'Lamentations' feels like a requiem for something unknowable—a sonic vapor of mourning suspended in time. With its deep, melancholic undercurrent and meticulous construction, the album captures the collapsing distance between past and present, presence and void. It is both intimate and infinite, a quiet yet overwhelming reminder that nothing truly disappears, it only changes shape.
