about

Through the aeons of lockdown a mysterious and ever-expanding constellation of producers, vocalists and makers of sound known as billion o'clock has been (un)quietly labouring over their debut album: a densely layered, defiantly unique noise rap opus they call 'The Grief Whole'.

In a lengthy and sometimes maddening process archives were scoured and fragments gleaned from dusty samplers to be collaged, welded and reverse engineered into a coherent yet varied album.
In a sublime marriage of medium and content 'The Grief Whole' exists as a conceptual Möbius (tape) loop, with no officially fixed beginning or end point. The two sides are marked only with esoteric mathematical symbols that give no indication of hierarchical order, inviting the listener to choose their own starting point or simply submit to serendipity as they insert the cassette.
