Across the record, Rousay weaves together samples and field recordings alongside contributions from Alex Cunningham on violin, Mari Maurice on electronics and violin, Marilu Donovan on harp, and Theodore Cale Schafer on piano.

“It becomes clear as we trace Rousay’s collaged sonic pathway that breakdown, of meaning and also of melody, is also a place to rest,” explains the label.

everything perfect is already here follows Shelter Press’ publication of SPECTRES: Ghosts In The Machine / Volume III — one of our favourite books from 2021.
