Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating heavily within the American free-folk tradition, Tom and Christina Carter construct vast, sprawling improvisations using primarily acoustic guitars, pedal steel, and voice. The lengthy, hypnotic tracks avoid standard melodies, favoring deep psychedelic drones and eerie, wordless vocal incantations.
