Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released on the avant-garde Crammed Discs label, this deeply mysterious electronic work blends ambient synthesizers with surreal, electroacoustic post-minimalism. The compositions are highly evocative, building a nocturnal, melancholic atmosphere accented by subtle tribal percussive elements. The resulting soundscape is a mellow, soothing, and brilliantly eccentric piece of European experimentalism.
