broken ladder

the music of broken ladder is an ambitious attempt to create aural landscapes whose energy evokes stark images of pain and internal struggle, distinct amidst a collage of resounding alternately-tuned open strings, agile transitions, and enticingly counter-intuitive bridges. broken ladder is a rich dichotomy. torn between the desire to move on and heal, and the ball-and-chain of regret, it speaks like a battered spouse coming home with a gun in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other.
