We came across the music of Sondra Sun-Odeon via the excellent Folkadelphia and fell for her evocative, experimental sound right away. We are therefore delighted to unveil Sondra’s contribution to Quiet, Constant Friends, our compilation in support of global literacy charity Worldreader.
‘Hair’, taken from 2012’s Ætherea, is almost certainly the darkest, heaviest track on our release. At first appearing to be a moody rock number, the song grows into something altogether more substantial, the clattering drums and discordant squealing and vicious guitars cumulating into something as dark and ominous as Biblical thunderclouds. Through it all come the vocals, weaving themselves amongst the dense fog like calls from some doom-dream deity.

The art piece for Sondra’s song was produced by Oregon-based artist Rachael Perisho, who you might recognise as the talent behind the Good, Good Blood cover. I’ve been more than a little overwhelmed by the artistic responses to the songs, and this one is no exception. You can find all of Rachael’s work on her website, and be sure to follow her on Tumblr and Instagram too. 
You can pre-order Quiet, Constant Friends now via the Wake The Deaf Bandcamp page. All tape orders come with super-limited edition postcard prints, and all profits go to Worldreader, so why not treat yourself and feel good about helping a great cause at the same time?
