This album is created from recordings lovingly gathered over nearly a decade of travels around Europe and more local journeys around north Wales. Locations that have featured in recordings on this album range from the Buda Labyrinth in Budapest to prehistoric burial chambers on the island of Anglesey. The last few years have seen the shape of Europe change beyond recognition; Parking Non-Stop are fascinated by the edges and borders of Europe, and movement across them. The title track of Species Corridor features a rhythm track made from recording of a European bison in Eastern Poland kicking itself in the head to get rid of flies. The rare primeval forest where it lives, Białowieża, became the new border of the EU in 2004 amid heated debates about how to stop people migrating illegally while allowing the bison and other protected species to wander freely.
Parking Non-Stop’s music inhabits these tensions by exploring every locality as a border area where languages, sounds and cultures mingle and cross.
