The solo debut from one half of the acclaimed ambient duo Stars of the Lid retains the sweeping, glacial grandeur of his primary project. The compositions drift weightlessly through beautifully orchestrated string sections, gentle brass, and shimmering drone textures, yielding an overwhelmingly peaceful and cinematic minimalist experience.
