release description

Emerging from a 3-year hiatus, Teargas & Plateglass delve into the depths again with Black Triage. The band's new album resonates with the backdrop of genocide, combining stark breaks and haunting vocals, poignant strings and melancholy synths. Provocative and intense, these moments of silence evoke claustrophobia, not peace.

To compliment the visceral quality of Black Triage, the text for the booklet was penned by the renowned filmmaker Godfrey Reggio of Koyyanisqatsi fame.

Three highly acclaimed videos were produced for the album, which the American Film Institute called "a bold experimental vision."

"One Day Across The Valley"

"Plague Burial"

"Simplify This Landscape With Darkness"
