Buried deep in the hills surrounding Inverness lies a sonic wonder of the world: a World War 2-era oil storage facility originally designed to store furnace oil for the British Navy’s Admiralty Fleet. Comprising 6 gigantic tanks that could cumulatively hold over 30 million gallons of oil, the Inchindown Oil Tanks are an engineering marvel the likes of which could only be possible in the context of a war effort.
In their retirement, after being drained and decommissioned, the Tanks were found to hold the world record for the longest reverb in a manmade structure, clocking in at a shocking 112 seconds broadband.
You and Your Absence is an album written for and recorded in the Inchindown Oil Tanks. It features no artificial reverb whatsoever, and uses the Tanks as a springboard to discuss themes of temporality, embodied experience, and our connection to the past.
