Album Notes & Community Reviews

The highly sought-after session guitarist and super-producer constructs an incredibly delicate, hushed solo album. Dissonant guitar chords and muted pianos are recorded with microscopic intimacy, accompanying his whispered, poetic ruminations on emotional ambiguity and environmental collapse. It is a brilliant, understated masterpiece of acoustic engineering and ambient folk-pop.
