Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded live around a single ambisonic microphone in a Toronto church, 'The Trinity Session' possesses a profoundly hushed, nocturnal atmosphere. The band reinterprets traditional country, blues, and Velvet Underground classics with a beautifully slow, lethargic grace led by Margo Timmins's haunting vocals. It is an ambient country masterpiece noted for its natural, cavernous reverb, intense intimacy, and sparse, minimalistic beauty.
