INTERVIEW WITH SUN 13:
sun-13.com/2024/03/11/nonconnah-interview-were-heart-on-sleeve-emotionalists/

"like Flying Saucer Attack meets John Carpenter"
- Les Hall, Cutters Choice Radio

"For those unfamiliar with Nonconnah, Shadows from the Walls of Death is as good a place to start as any. It really does have it all in the pantheon of noise jams."
- Simon Kirk, Sun 13 Albums Quarterly #12
sun-13.com/2023/11/30/sun-13s-albums-quarterly-12/

“Throughout the record, the experimental duo puts us in the shoes of Icarus as he feels his wingtips get grazed by the sun, crystallizing the feeling that at some point everything extraordinary and beautiful eventually starts doing more harm than good.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NONCONNAH are Zachary and Denny Wilkerson Corsa, a Memphis-based experimental music duo who explore themes of memory and the past, the lingeringly supernatural, and the profoundly American through hallucinatory layers of guitar and the spectral decay inherent in ‘obsolete’ recording mediums. Drawing on sonic traditions as varied as ambient and drone music, shoegaze, noise music, psych-rock, post-rock, and the occasional touches of old time/Appalachian folk music.

The inspiration behind "Shadows From The Walls Of Death" is the trend during the Victorian era for eye-catching ornately designed vivid wallpaper, which happened to be laced with arsenic, slowly poisoning the occupants of the houses adorned with it and workers in the factories who mass-produced it. Left untouched, the wallpaper could release flakes of arsenic into the air or produce arsenical gas when conditions were damp. It was also linked to the widespread cases of mental illness at the time. Something decorative and ostensibly beautiful but potentially dangerous, both physically and psychologically.

The album takes its title from Dr. Robert C. Kedzie's book, published in 1874, warning of the dangers and containing samples of said wallpaper, collected from stores around Michigan. Thus making the book itself a dangerous artefact. The cassette outer and inner cover art features examples of the wallpaper.
