On Nov. 20, Gildea Media released Dialetheia, a collaborative album featuring Mizmor and Andrew Black. The two-song, thirty-minute album debuted in full at Treble, and is embedded below.
Via statement, the band says:
Dialetheia wordlessly ruminates on themes of isolation, society, subject-object dualism, nostalgia, anxiety, and depression. These themes started swirling around in our minds as the COVID-19 pandemic set in and began changing our ways of life. Whereas the first track, "Looking At | Looking Through" is more gentle, meditative, and introspective, ‘Nostalgic Dystopian’ goes to a darker place, lamenting our current societal situation of being a failed state, acknowledging the reality of being both the lab tech and the subject in the great experiment of human civilization, and expressing the existential dread of being an overpopulated monoculture headed more closely toward causing a mass extinction and living in an apocalyptic era. The album was created remotely through file-sharing in March and April of 2020, inflicted by a novel sense of cognitive dissonance.
The album also includes artwork by Emma Ruth Rundle.
