*2023 stock. 50 copies limited release* Fresh off their April cassette, Meadow Argus returns with "III," 34 minutes of tape manipulation soundscapes in an arrid region that was once a lush forest. Tape loops made from field recordings collected in Summer 2009 while on a freight trainhopping journey up & down the west coast. Backwards metallic drum circles unspool into industrial muck of monsters struggling. There is no water in the fountain but that doesn't stop the mirage. Side A contains eight shorter songs taking Meadow Argus in a new direction, while Side B is a longform piece similar in feel to their previous cassette "II" and should be considered part of the same universe being built.
