Time is Away is Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney, two visionary storytellers who map personal, poetic and sometimes playful dérives through the histories of their imagination. The voice is an instrument, a letter from home, the colour of pomegranates. Over the better half of a decade, they have made tender and heartfelt transmissions through countless mixes, sound works, live appearances and radio. Exploring themes of memory, persistence and resistance using an assemblage of source material, the duo’s unique mode of storytelling has culminated in Ballads, their first officially licensed compilation, due for release in October 2022.
