When Dana Schechter started Insect Ark as her "true" solo project in 2012, she set out to build desolate and hallucinogenic galaxies of sound entirely on her own. Writing and playing solo offered an escape into the deepest realms of self-reflection, dredging and birthing a hitherto sonic beast that was, it turns out, utterly unhinged and totally liberating. Focusing on experimental, drone, noise, and avant-garde noise, Insect Arks first years produced records that were raw, ominous, and totally unique. While defying comparison, these new sounds possessed Schechters distinct musical spirit, woven throughout her 20+ years of band/collaboration work. Now, after 9 years of existence, Insect Ark has come full circle to once again embrace solo work on 2021s Future Fossils.
