Even though I love listening to music, there is no match for the ambient sounds that resonate from the field and forest around the farm. When I'm working in the field I feel like the sounds I make become a part of a greater production and that I've tapped into an unseen energy. When listening to This Will Destroy You it is apparent that they are aware of that feeling. Not only are they trying to channel something overwhelming and huge but they are also trying to be it. I would love to hear them perform in the field at Wealth Underground Farm.
This Will Destroy You visited the farm the day after their Portland show before heading up to Seattle. It was a beautiful day and we had plenty of time for a meandering farm tour, tasting some of the early available crops. For lunch we ate roasted potatoes and a salad overflowing with Wealth Underground greens. We chatted for a bit about scoring movies and getting caught in drive-by's before we said our goodbyes and they left for Seattle and the rest of their tour.
Thanks to This Will Destroy You for visiting the farm on their tour with A Place to Bury Strangers. You can hear more from them on their bandcamp page or on facebook.
