Blake Edward Conley took droneroom out back behind the shed in 2024 and killed it in a vulgar display of apathy. In 2025 he nearly died and rose again, born anew as burial cake. In 2026, her tragedy bore fruit in the form of the album “small steps.” Not much changed, but maybe everything did. Conley is still combining telecaster twang with murky, droning atmospheres. His material is still more of a wander than a destination. She is still a cowboy. He is still a Kentucky Colonel. But where prior compositions were confused panic attacks, burial cake is a tender bruise. The black eye you gave yourself after when you decided that punching yourself in the face was the most direct way to calm down. Once self harm becomes a personal challenge, this is your big door prize.. This is a burial, but hey, at least there’s cake!
 
María Dolores A. Matienzo is a composer, percussionist, intermedia artist, poet, and archivist living on unceded Coast Salish lands. Celebrating the release this month of “Ongoingnesses”, her latest album on Sawyer Spaces, she will weave field recordings with live processing, amplified percussion, and more into what Frans de Waard has referred to as “ritual music for an urban environment.”
