Zuydervelt’s crackling vinyl samples include Soviet folk songs and fragments of the dictator’s speeches. The ironic cover portrays a whitewashed history that continues to bleed through, conjuring memories of scratched out photographs and amended truths. The music is similarly abraded, at times nearly silent, reflecting the voices of the lost. Even today the fates of many are unknown, the echoes of their lives similarly muted, the mention of their names an act of courage or defeat. a closer listen
