Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking Alexander Giannascoli's first release on a major indie label, the record maintains his deeply insular, home-recorded lo-fi aesthetic. The brief, fragmentary songs blur the lines between acoustic folk, sludgy grunge, and eerie, pitch-shifted electronic experimentation. It firmly established him as a prodigious, genre-fluid talent capable of translating his Bandcamp origins to a significantly wider audience.
