Cyclopean Frequencies

The first Transit Yellow record. Eight studies in cosmic horror drawn from Lovecraft and Chambers, where the old names are not myth but weather. The debut that set the course: heavy psych and doom tuned to the backdrop, with the dread kept melodic.

Tracklist & sources

Eight tracks drawn from the cosmic horror of H. P. Lovecraft and Robert W. Chambers. Here is the running order, with the story or figure behind each song.

1
Spin
Azathoth, the blind idiot god who gibbers and spins at the centre of ultimate chaos, from the Lovecraft mythos.
8:12
2
Silver Cylinders Fly
The Mi-Go of "The Whisperer in Darkness" by H. P. Lovecraft, who carry living brains between the stars in bright metal cylinders. Read the entry.
5:12
3
Alien Stone
After "The Colour Out of Space" by H. P. Lovecraft. A meteorite falls on a New England farm and a colour that is no colour drains the life from everything it touches.

4
Transit Yellow
The title track, after "The King in Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers. The forbidden play that drives its readers mad, the lost city of Carcosa, and the Yellow Sign.

5
Violet Bleed
After "The Dreams in the Witch House" by H. P. Lovecraft. Keziah Mason, her familiar Brown Jenkin, and angles of space that open onto other worlds.
3:54

Sarnath
After "The Doom That Came to Sarnath" by H. P. Lovecraft. A proud city erased to a still lake. Read the full piece in the archive.

The Beast
After "The Outsider" by H. P. Lovecraft. A creature climbs out of the dark toward the light and recognises, too late, the thing in the mirror.

Hound Of Tindalos
The things that live in the angles of time. Inspired by Frank Belknap Long's "The Hounds of Tindalos" (Weird Tales, 1929). Read the entry.
