A PSYCHOGEOGRAPHIC HOMECOMING
Prodigal children D and J return to the endless hills and cobbled dreams of 'B,' haunted by delusions of grandeur and visions of nightmarish wings. Drunk on failure and bitterness, the twin narrators map out their teenage domains in a series of duologues drawn upon both personal and cultural history to inflect the eerie and oblique hidden within the boutique shops, limping club and ghostly tunes that permeate the south-western bleak.
At points, an elegy to the end of teenagedom, and at times, a grim vision of the cityscape's suffocating future, 'Archangels' is an extended poem concerned with space and how it shapes us. How it elevates our dreams and then crashes us back down to Earth. Ecstatic and obliterating in equal measures, 'Archangels' is a gothic tale of desire, destruction and the after-hours of a late night.
