Elizabeth Veldon's album, "The Condition Of Pre-revolutionary Exiles In Siberia As Recorded By S Turner Frgs Who Wishes Us To Forget Their Plight In The Interests Of Increased Trade," is a haunting and thought-provoking exploration of the forgotten history of Siberian exiles. Veldon's use of field recordings, spoken word, and ambient sounds creates a vivid and immersive listening experience that transports the listener to another time and place.
The album's title is a mouthful, but it accurately reflects the complexity and depth of the music. Veldon's work is a powerful reminder of the human cost of political and economic systems, and the ways in which those in power often seek to erase the stories of those they have oppressed. Through her music, Veldon gives voice to the forgotten exiles of Siberia and asks us to remember their plight.
