+ The Project :

230 Divisadero is a new project by Matt Shaw (Tex La Homa) and Nick Grey : songs and music are written and recorded between the two of them by sending cdrs, ideas, concepts and thoughts to each other between England and Canada.

The music of 230 Divisadero conveys a deep end-of-the-world / lost-at-sea feeling, a sense of sadness yet (perhaps unfulfilled) hope triggered by misty soundscapes, torpid arrangements and psychedelic electronics.

230 Divisadero's first ep, A Vision Of Lost Unity is planned for release on Milk & moon recordings soon, and features the extra participation of Canadian cellist David Widmer. The ep features natural and electronic sounds and atmospheres that can bring to mind the drone music of Sunn O))) or the electronic pulses you might find in a track by coil, two amongst many, many different influences. Additionally, Matt and Nick are currently working on a full-length release, to be expected late 2006.
