Recorded and produced by topographies
Mixed and mastered by Alexis Berthelot
Art by Soen Settanni

Topographies’ newest release, an EP entitled Not My Loneliness, But Ours, is a meditation on community, collectivity, and isolation recorded during the world coronavirus pandemic. The tracks were written and recorded by individual members in their San Francisco bedrooms and home studios and augmented by passing the files back and forth online before being sent to friend and collaborator Alexis Berthelot in New York for mixing and mastering. The EP then is a transcription of the collaborative process, removed from the communal spaces of the rehearsal room and the stage, the locations where the band usually works out new ideas and songs. Still, the four songs express a longing for the presence of others in a world that has become increasingly remote, both before and as a result of the pandemic. The lyrics posit that the organizing element of being human is an innate aloneness. Paradoxically, this collective loneliness unites us, gives meaning to art, and offers us a chance at connections with not only those who we live with or around but the panoply of human existence; the living and the dead. The mood of the songs is one of melancholy hope and faith in a world that can seem at times permeated with an ever-deepening darkness. The band hopes that these songs can act as small wayposts within this “land of shadows”, as Tolhurst intones in the dreamy ballad “In Your Hands”, somewhere to rest, take stock, and move forward with others and within oneself.

Ingrina truly are a special band and for that I absolutely love there music. Etter Lys has that post metal/post hardcore tag but it's so much more,the more you listen the more it reveals and this is down to the amazing writing of the music. Etter Lys is a masterpiece and Ingrina have become that band I adore. Darknight

Another great band! The lead singer is Lol Tolhurst's son (original drummer from the Cure). "An Eye, Open" just gets into the soul. Such a beautiful song. Brian
