Album Notes & Community Reviews

Gordon Sharp's elusive project moves entirely away from industrial post-punk into the realm of chilling, minimalist soundscapes on their third album. Conceived originally as a soundtrack for an independent film, the work blends delicate piano, harsh ambient drones, and stark field recordings into a mysterious, autumnal meditation.
