Marketed as the first ever history of drone music, Harry Sword’s Monolithic Undertow: In Search Of Sonic Oblivion documents its manifestations, from those generated on the first musical instruments created by our Neolithic ancestors through to Brian Eno, Nico, La Monte Young, Sunn O))), Jah Shaka and Hawkwind. “These experiences are akin to an audio portal – a sound Tardis to silence the hum and fizz of the unceasing inner voice. The drone exists outside of us, but also – paradoxically – within us all; an aural expression of a universal hum we can only hope to fleetingly channel,” reads the book's synopsis.

Harry Sword's Monolithic Undertow: In Search Of Sonic Oblivion will be published in February 2021.
