Francis M. Gri – Decays – Deluxe Version – SOLD OUT!

Sold Out!

Greetings friends! Once again the earth has circled the sun, and the fall season is upon us! As the days shorten, and the leaves wither and drop, we are pleased to bring you this most appropriately seasonal release from Italian based musician, Francis M. Gri, entitled “Decays”. At times sounding like the soundtrack to a moody, somber Tarkovsky film, Gri has captured the din of the clatter and clang of life as it grows, and then rises in an uplifting anthemic glory to all that man has made. Darkly delicate…constantly decaying and yet reborn again…eternally…this is the sound of “Decays”.

The two physical versions of this release reflect this idea of moral, social and physical decay perfectly.

This is the listing for the completely over-the-top deluxe version. In an edition of only 50 copies of which only 35 will be for sale, it comes housed in a custom made, lidded, bamboo IPad case. The front and inside of each case is collaged with vintage industrial paper ephemera, medical and x-ray diagrams and children’s books cut-outs. Embedded in polyurethane within each box is an assortment of decaying detritus…rusting metal bits and gears, clock parts and other organic material. The factory pressed disc comes in a hand stamped black, linen sleeve lined envelope that is hinged to the inside cover of the case. The surface of each interior is protected with a page from a vintage book on clocks. Each case is then neatly contained with an attached elastic band. The first 40 copies are black, the last 10 copies are red.

There is also an over-the-top “standard” version, also of a completely hand made nature. Also in an edition of just 50 copies.

As usual each copy of this release is uniquely different, and may or may not be the one pictured.

This release will ship the last week of November 2018.
