    Limited edition vinyl pressing of Alice Boyd's debut EP 'From The Understory' on Eco-Mix.

    'From The Understory' is an exploration of our relationship with plants and our role in the ecosystems with live in. Created as part of Alice Boyd's artist residency at the Eden Project, this collection of songs brings together the human voice, electronic textures created with plants and field recordings to tell the story of civilisation at a tipping point.

    The EP is pressed onto Eco-Mix, a 100% recycled compound made from trimmed flash and leftovers from any colour which cannot otherwise be reused. The trimmed flash is the excess vinyl that is trimmed off after the vinyl puck is pressed, and the leftover colour granulate is usually from 2 or 3 colour effect discs that cannot be reused into single colour discs. This method produces a unique look and colour for each vinyl, cutting down on waste and making each record individual. The colour you receive will be a lucky dip, and can range from sea green to ruby red!

about

‘Growth’ is about how as human civilisations began to establish on Earth, our relationship with the natural world changed. ‘Growth’ follows this shift, as we see cities spring up across the globe, fossil fuels and resources being used at exponential rates and climate change and environmental degradation beginning to spiral out of control.

lyrics

Up in the growth
The air swims through my hair
A touch unknown
Up in the canopy
A sickled seedling sewn
A prophecy

Sister, I cannot choose stillness like you
Running from nothing
Still I must go
Towards the precipice

Up in the sky
The glass and metal rise
And leave below
And way up high
A vanquished vertigo
A lord reviled

Sister, I cannot see how you’re like me
Standing in silence
Still and serene
Are you lonely?

Up in the air
The dancing droplets grow
And fall to earth
And down below
The mighty furnace burns
A fearsome glow

Sister, I do not know how not to grow
Teach me, release me
How did I go?
Towards the precipice
