As M Lane’s voice seeks another sphere amid wrangling guitars, Joey M Bishop constructs a landscape for it to dwell in, here on earth, up there in the ether. From the cracks issue melodies which want to break free, songs which need to be surrounded. A world is born under the careful supervision of Patience and Industry, a world that would as soon dash you on the rocks as it would give you repose. Paying no mind to calm coastlines, A Straw Assembly sets its sights on open water.

A Straw Assembly is a 4-6 piece band which formed in East Java in 2017; their debut album Skyfeed was released in January 2018. The music was created with the idea that songs - and albums - have a telos, and the task of songwriting is to let the thread roll out naturally in the direction it wants to go.
