Comes with [url=https://discogs.com/release/13289232]download code[/url]. [From the liner notes]: All sounds on this album were generated by plastic objects. THRILL JOCKEY RECORDS 2018 Recorded and engineered at Snowghost Studios, Whitefish, Montana, USA; edited at Civitella Ranieri, Umbria, Italy; mixed at home in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Backcover: CF000478 photo by Chris Jordan from the series 'Midway: Message from the Gyre.' (The image depicts the contents from the stomach of a Laysan albatross photographed in an atoll near the Pacific Ocean Plastic Gyre). SONG CREDITS: A1. All sounds generated by breaking LPs and 7" single by the soft rock group Bread and amplifying shards of vinyl. No sampling of Bread's music took place. A3. Features synthetic human fatty tissue created by SynDaver Labs. A4. Composed entirely from the sound of a plastic salad bowl. Thanks to the assistance of scientists from the Catalonia Institute of Space Studies working with the Sonar Festival, a mono, low-bitrate version of this song has been beamed from a high-powered radio tower in Tromsø, Norway to the exoplanet GJ237b in the vicinity of the Luyten Star in the Canis Minor constellation. The song should arrive in 12.45 light years. B1. Composed entirely from the sound of a polycarbonate riot shield purchased on eBay and formerly used by the Albuquerque Police Department. To learn more about the conditions under which riot shields can be rendered inoperable, see Michael R. Edwards and H. Waterfall, "Mechanical and ballistic properties of polycarbonate apposite to riot shield applications," — Plastics Rubber and Composites, 37(1): 1-6, February, 2008. B2. Polyethylene waste containers courtesy of Pacific Steel and Recycling Company. B4. "With the product's invention, the Bakelite Corporation boasted, humans had transcended the taxonomies of the natural world: the animal, mineral and vegetable kingdoms. Now we had 'a fourth kingdom, whose boundaries are unlimited.'" – Susan Freinkel, Plastic: A Toxic Love Story, New York: Houghton Mifflin, 2011, 6. B5. Coined by marine biologists, the term "plastisphere" identifies the environmental affordances of human-made polymers for microbial and bacterial life. See J. Reisser, J. Shaw, G. Hallegraeff, M. Proietti, D.K.A. Barnes, M. Thums, et al. (2014) "Millimeter-Sized Marine Plastics: A New Pelagic Habitat for Microorganisms and Invertebrates" — Public Library of Science ONE 9(6): e100289.
