Empty Campground, by Robert Eggplant

Empty Campground

by Robert Eggplant

about

Take a seat in this dampened Earth. A vast expanse buried deep in the mountainous forest of the U.S., where you’re sat around a campfire taking in the timbres of a smeared Americana from an exhumed acoustic guitar, accompanied by vibrations of the plants and creatures that inhabit the landscape.

Robert Eggplant is the solo project of Boise, Idaho resident Luke Hayhurst: an environmental advocate, sound collector, and avid hiker, with a brilliant release on NL-based label Shimmering Moods.

The tracks on this cassette are a reaction towards cognitive dissonance, excessive waste, and exploitation of the natural beauty of our resources. Re-constructed acoustic guitar improvs spliced with field recording, and an overall atmosphere Roy Montgomery would be quite proud of. It's a study on the gradation of camping experiences, and the level in which we remove ourselves from urban comforts and experience nature and its surroundings.

Empty Campground is a psychedelic journey deep within the outskirts of the Heartland, aspiring for harmony in the wilderness.

"Most people live on the world, not in it,"
- John Muir
