San Francisco based Jon Porras, who is also one half of guitar drone outfit Barn Owl, is set to release Black Mesa, his new solo LP.

The album was recorded by Porras at home and in his practice space over the course of ten months.
“Black Mesa is intended as a reflection on desolation and the search for light in a barren land” says the press release. “Featuring seven composed tracks of meditative electric guitar embellished with improvised atmospherics and white light feedback, the album follows an outlaw wanderer who ventures deep into the desert only to discover the Black Mesa, a bridge between worlds (as related to string theory or multiverse theory).”

Black Mesa will hit stores on April 17th via Thrill Jockey and pre-order is now available here.

Jon Porras filmed a video on Super 8 for the opening track ‘Into Midnight’. Check it out below.
