about

March 1st marks the second release from the whitewater crew, with a digital EP from Valestine. Drawing from a 1959 educational film called “The Faces Of Depression: A Phenomenological Approach To The Depression Syndrome” which “uses unrehearsed interviews with patients to present a representative collection of depression cases in order to assist the physician in recognizing depressive symptoms” (Simon Fraser University), Valestine devised a four-track piece oscillating between poise and self-hatred. Smooth and controlled pads permeate the tracks; they exist, simultaneously, as saccharine SSRIs and as sharpened daggers.
