Is Not Defeated is an album from a tight-knit community of musicians who assembled, lived together, and wrote music together in non-traditional ways. it’s an album of intricate compositions and sincere passion, culminating in a cathartic zenith.

“The result of this unified effort is an album that very much feels like scaling a mountain. Is Not Defeated is a winding journey with strenuous climbs, harrowing narrow passages, sudden drops into yawning chasms and gorgeous sonic vistas that seem to stretch to the horizon. Over the album’s ambitious 1-hour-and-16-minute trek, you can spot myriad disparate influences. There’s the spacious twang of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ film scores, like The Road or The Proposition. There’s the weighty, lumbering dirge of more recent work by avant-garde metal band Neurosis. There’s the quiet, floating beauty of U.K. rockers Mojave 3.” - Nashville Scene

the ascent of everest is metaphor for ambitious goals. partly the synthesis of genre and fusion of musical traditions but also to articulate abstract emotional places and states of being. some will be quick to pick out bits that could be called post rock metal doom electronic shoegaze neoclassical etc. but shy from saying what the ultimate result is: this is about the journey into the unknown.
