'Marcescence' is an Outtake....er....Companion(?)......no, not quite right......'Marcescence' is an "Inverse" album to Timberline's previous album 'Florescence'! Floris was originally meant to be 24-26 songs, but a handful of songs just didn't quite "fit" the larger themes of Floris, and so were florally abscised and planned to be released as a small EP of outtakes... (these songs included early drafts of "Marcescence", "Osedax", + "Wither", and nearly complete iterations of "Florid" + "Anther") but, as these things often occur, my bed and i became affixed, the empty streets became my safety, the pavement provided counsel, and the open cabinets and windows once scenic became enclosed. And so, the songs expanded, responding and framing clarifications of the statements once yelled, written, and sang with heartfelt certainty. While Floris encompasses and horizontally surrounds, Marce narrowly holds itself up with vertically frail strands. When Floris calls for the joining of voices from a solitary room, Marce withdrawals from the choir to sing quietly behind closed doors. Where Floris ends with the breaking of windows and walking out into the light, Marce stands outside that old room as the sun sets and the boarded up quadrate offers no assurances.
