Tephra is the initial single release off of Trawlerboy's upcoming EP Elsewhere. Inspired by the bright, tropical aesthetics of Frutiger Aero, Tephra’s sonic textures culminate in a dripping, gritty base, sampled drum beats, distorted 909s, and gooey synths reminiscent of early IDM.

Tephra is a celebration of the cataclysmic events from our past shaping our present selves. The term is in reference to the hardened material from volcanic eruptions, acting as a geological artifact of the self, memory, and a tangible connection to the most emotionally volatile experiences that, while destructive, also create something deeply fertile and nurturing.
