about

World Gone By is a collection of electro-acoustic memorabilia, memento mori, and fever dream fantasies of folktales from the future, World Gone By is the Muses’ third full length. Documents for the divine contemplation of otherworldly objects by Breatharians hungry for the kind soup of melody, World Gone By is a dream escapement, thrumming with the pulse of mycelial networks singing through dense clouds of entanglement. Ambient rock and electronica, in other words.

The plural behind The Plural Muses’ sound is BC Clark, who says, As a plural artist, I love to soar on the sonorities of my alter-eagles. Music helps us gather and focus our energies, to find grooves and motifs that enable us all to agree to row in the same direction. Music-in-parts featuring funky, sticky beats (eventually) and most-excellent pads (always) are the liberated result of a background in marching bands, rock groups, guitar circles, and church choirs. This thing is guaranteed secular, BC stomps (while caught praying to Hermes, begging for spectral harmonies).

Prayers answered, this new album, BC claims, is industrial noise music from fairyland, all moss and mist and drips and flows, wood creaking, birds shrieking, night creeping, with the salmon of melody slipping upstream atop street rhythms and aleatory grooves. This is the country music of Nevermoria, mice choirs singing a high lonesome electronic Highland-via-Bulgaria strathspray done in tumbling zero-gee--always pensive, one eye on the end--and everything after--constantly shocked by the present--dancing anyway, knowing this could be the last.

The last what? Here at The Plural Muses, we’re equal opportunity haunters, so... we don’t know. Everything’s coming down. Welcome to World Gone By.

As The Plural Muses, BC Clark has been a frequent collaborator with other Bandcamp artists and a contributor to various Bandcamp compilations. World Gone By includes tracks originally written for an Isaac Asimov tribute put together by Machina ad Noctem, a Backroom compilation from SFTS, a Christmas compilation from Endogenic Noise (another plural artist), and a split EP with Stigmata Kiss on Dark Entry Records.

All tings: BC Clark
Zorted vocals: Leanan Sídhe

“Mycelium Run” is dedicated to my friend Jay, for hikes once and future more. Video: youtu.be/McI94ntuaeI

An Arturian reverse reverb to make David Waters and Roger Gilmour--those Floyd Bros, yeah?--blink and say ah led me late one night to a poem, a sort of dream or gift that presented itself, purpose perfectly clear, utility immediately apparent. Thus, “The Gift,” dedicated to my sister Katherine and our aunt, Rosemary.

“Meeting Susan at the Redwood” is in memory of Susan Luzarro, poet, teacher, investigative journalist, and so much more to so many people.

“The Stars, Like Dust” was made for a Machina ad Noctem compilation on Bandcamp inspired by Isaac Asimov's writing. machinaadnoctem.bandcamp.com

this is a damn nice piece of art. Firnwalds Music takes you to a medieval world with fireplaces in the woods, monsters and a shaman brewing a soup for unreal strength. All recorded with a Sony Walkman from the 80ies. Sounds great, warm and comfy. also pretty good for a crazy dance party @ stonehenge or the easter islands with Burial and Aphex Twin samyhalicic
