Black Earth is a haunted and magical place. At night, when the air is crisp & clean, you can lie on your back by the fire & look up at the stars & listen to the animals & insects making their music. Implodes has been to Black Earth and they made dark & murky music for that dark & murky place. Cavernous guitar tones & dense melodies are present everywhere. Hidden beneath the layers of reverb, delay & distortion are deceptively simple & beautiful songs about experiences that have been obscured for many years that suddenly become profoundly important. The cobwebs just needed to be pushed aside a bit. Implodes is a Chicago quartet that has coalesced around guitarists Matt Jencik (HURL, DON CABALLERO) & Ken Camden in the last few years, with the group settling on their current lineup in 2009.
