[A4 only album] Dels Quin - Formicidae

Analog Four only “album” or EP or whatever. I like concept albums, and this one is about an ant colony, from when it starts (nuptial flight), through the larva period (metamorphosis), early beginning (shredded eggs) onto the queen of the lot going mad and everything going to hell.

All feedback much appreciated! This will be released on my label soon enough, but you’re getting a preview.

Dels Quin attempts with ‘Formicidae’ to paint a picture of the rise and fall of an ant colony. From the brutal mating ritual (Nuptial Flight), through the larva period (Metamorphosis), early beginning (Shredded Eggs), through the toil and struggle of the colony (Drones, Colonization, Ruling) leading up to the parasitic infection of the queen (The Mad Queen), her fall into the abyss of madness (Turmoil) and the demise of the empire (Doom). There isn’t a lot of drumming or rhythm going on in this one, but it can’t all be about beats. “I once had an ant farm, those fuckers didn’t grow shit” - Mitch Hedberg.
