Bong
's unregulated experiments in tonal prolonging. Solemn in its delivery and frightening in its implications, this album signifies a point of no return from the Pied Pipers of mesmeric drone; its two near-20-minute tracks will surely loop and envelop indefinitely, freeing the listener from this increasingly unfamiliar material world and mercifully trapping them in the weightlessness of Bong's sonic void. Microtonal adjustments and invading frequencies are pleated into a tapestry of gooey guitar and midnight-ritual percussion, melting at a glacial pace across "Time Regained" and "Find Your Own Gods." The first of the two tracks creaks under the weight of residual distortion and unfathomable density, while the second opens with the powerful command of the track title, evoking a deity-defying thought process that unravels through the duration of the song, providing the synth-mist and distant rumbles with an origin so ancient it predates comprehension.
We Are, We Were and We Will Have Been
is Bong's report from their explorations past the point where others fear. The album was captured and mixed in November 2014 by
Mark Wood
at the Soundroom in Gateshead, England, and the cover art is from "Thomson's Aeolian Harp," by famed pre-impressionist painter
J. M. W. Turner
, picturing an infant London in the background.
