Tan Cologne – Heretic Porcelain : Listen

The Taos hum is loud on this one.

Tan Cologne is made up of New Mexico artists Lauren Green and Marissa Macias who combine forces to create sounds tied to the landscapes that surround them. They released their debut record Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico earlier this year, a sparse, elemental collection of minimal, mystical sounds that really capture the essence of Taos – high desert, looming mountains, moving water.

On the hallucinogenic “Heretic Porcelain,” Tan Cologne said,

Circling through hypnotic reversals, “Heretic Porcelain” sonically explores terrestrial responses to a tilted, worn, and skewed Earth. Lyrically, the song centers on inevitable transformations, reactions, and animalistic behaviors. The word “heretic” and “porcelain” are pieced together, merging ideas of lunacy and fabrication of delicate forms

The video for “Heretic Porcelain” is a set of rotating glimpses embodying momentum. Visions of desert high-winds, wild horses, a mother and daughter metal detecting, hot stones vaporizing water, and common depictions of elemental presence. Pieced together to relay transformation in the directness that the action is the action itself.
