about

SONGS FOR DISTORTED TIMES by John Donovan Malley.
John Donovan Malley is a composer, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist based in the Pacific Northwest. This album brings together his first two eps (Echoes in a Cage & Songs for Comrades) into one full-length release.
The album was written between March and August of 2020 and grounded in the feelings of isolation and desperation of that year.

“In the spirit of Nurse with Wound, Psychic TV, and Coil. This project is great!”J.D. Pinkus (Butthole Surfers, Honky, Melvins)

“An unsettling and abrasive work that is sure to make
the listener uncomfortable in the best way
possible."Simon Hawemann (Nightmarer, Total Dissonance Worship)

Vol.1 Dark Ambient
by This Is Darkness

supported by 11 fans who also own “Songs For Distorted Times”

❤️My original plan was to go through and buy individual tracks like I do with most compilation albums, but honestly there are just so many good ones that I wound up buying the whole thing. More than simple drones (though there are plenty of those, too), this album collects many of the best and most innovative dark ambient artists in one place, including many who are new to me. A must-have for any dark ambient fan's collection. Plushie Fanatic
