Composed by the husband-and-wife ambient duo Will Long and Danielle Baquet-Long, this incredibly delicate album consists of massive, slow-moving tape loops and acoustic field recordings. The music possesses a profoundly bittersweet, fragile beauty, acting as a meditation on memory and ephemeral intimacy. It stands as a particularly poignant release following Danielle's tragic passing shortly after its completion.
