about

It is 2054. Earth has changed.

All Was Carbon is the first release from the synth and guitar experimental outfit, Venusian Motel Guests; a sonic postcard from the future about the runaway effects of climate change on Planet Earth — as experienced 30 years from now.

A suite of four conceptually linked tracks that portray different environmental symptoms of climate change, the All Was Carbon EP is a beautifully layered set of cinematic soundscapes, permeated by undercurrents of loss, urgency, and dread. Each piece paints a tonal portrait of desertification, biodiversity loss, ocean-level rise, and forest fire respectively. By turns both insistent and wistful, All Was Carbon is deeply alluring instrumental music, sounding seductive alarms about the future of our shared home.

Full EP release: Earth Day (April 22nd, 2024)
