Album Notes & Community Reviews

The primary project of songwriter Ray Raposa delivers a haunting, deeply atmospheric exploration of gothic Americana. Incorporating pedal steel and muted horns, the incredibly slow, reverberating acoustic arrangements frame Raposa's ghostly vocal delivery in a thoroughly psychedelic, emotionally desolate landscape.
