Reclus.É launch debut album The World Can’t Take Much More with Stain visualiser
Reclus.É, the collaboration between Daniel P Carter and Tummyache’s Soren Bryce, have released their debut album The World Can’t Take Much More via Rise Records.
The 13-track record arrives alongside a new visualiser for Stain, one of the album’s more searching and atmospheric cuts. Recorded at Middle Farm Studios and The Black Lodge, the album was produced by Carter and Bryce with Peter Miles, who also handled mixing duties.
Across its tense, shape-shifting songs, The World Can’t Take Much More addresses the personal and political pressures of modern life, balancing abrasive guitar work with Bryce’s vivid, often ethereal vocal delivery.
Carter says: “The World Can’t Take Much More is a collection of songs about where we currently find ourselves. Mentally, socially, politically, artistically… It is a critique of life in the modern age and it is a way for us to rail against it.
“It’s an album that not only celebrates community and creativity, it is the sound of two people becoming friends as we collaborated to make it. It is something neither of us would have, nor could have made alone.”
A visual companion for Stain
Stain follows earlier releases including A Muted TV, Isolationist and Belly Of The Whale. Speaking about the new single, Bryce said its subject is rooted in collective responsibility and the possibility of change.
“Stain is essentially about the part we all play in the interconnectedness of life,” Bryce explains. “We are all on the same earth and in the same context even if it isn’t necessarily our choice. It’s about working toward something, progressing, taking what is inevitable and utilising the privilege of hope to challenge it…”
