Album Notes & Community Reviews
As the second installment in his 'Archive & Practice' series, the album documents Cities Aviv's continued refinement of his production craft through sample-based experimentation. The record merges diffuse fragments of soul and jazz with vaporwave and ambient textures, creating a disorienting yet cohesive sonic collage. Over these instrumentals, his vocals are often delivered in a raw, stream-of-consciousness style that is buried within the dense mix, treating the voice as another textural layer in his abstract compositions.
