Album Notes & Community Reviews

Demonstrating a profound mastery of sample manipulation, the record constructs dense, glitch-ridden percussion out of everyday acoustic sounds. The intricate beat programming is balanced by haunting, melancholic synthesizer melodies that give the tracks a distinctly organic, textured feel. It is widely regarded as a pivotal evolution in Clark's sound, moving away from standard IDM tropes into darker territory.
