CD version of of the self released/self-titled LP by Cleveland's Emeralds recorded Aug-Sept 2008.  Proper follow up to their debut LP 'Solar Bridge',  'EMERALDS' takes the thick drone sound of that LP into an even more abstract and strange place.  Visual music that lifts the listener up and transports them through tubes of sound occasionally to be swept into the opposite direction by an unexpected entrance into another world entirely.  An intense journey that drops you off in a place just beyond death.

Field recording contributions from Aaron Dilloway. Mastered for CD by James Plotkin. Contains a 16 page full color booklet featuring photo artwork by the band themselves.

Starting out in 2005 performing live sets using only televisions as sound sources, EMERALDS has grown in recent years into a monster of HEAVY improvised drone using analog synths and masterfully effected guitar. Born out of the midwest scum-noise scene, these guys have taken the INTENSE HEAVINESS of their midwest brethren to a place that is entirely their own. They have replaced the creepy atmosphere and abrasive harsh noise of their peers w/ a VERY DIFFERENT though EQUALLY INTENSE assault of COSMIC DRONE POWER!

HANSON RECORDS is proud to announce EMERALDS - SOLAR BRIDGE, the trio's first full-length album after numerous cassette and cd-r releases on such labels as American Tapes, Chondritic Sound, and the bands own imprints Wagon and Gneiss Things. The album opens with the side long 'MAGIC' where the band builds a quiet drone into an extreme thick sawblade of swirling noise as beautiful as it is menacing. The flip is yet another sidelong journey titled 'THE QUAKING MESS', a track that stabs your brain with fluttering sparks of synthesized needles before relaxing you into a Göttschingesque dream state while slowly bringing you back to earth with an electronic wave of molten rumble. Fans of the smooth tones of 'New Age Of Earth' era Ash Ra Tempel and the buzzing thick drones of Throbbing Gristle's 'Heathen Earth' should take note, as EMERALDS may be their new source for electronic drugs.

Guitar, synth, and tape hallucinations that sound like they could maybe be an unedited ULTRA recording. Classic early material from Emeralds..crude and smoked out.
