Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating out of Bristol, the notoriously reclusive collective recorded this album directly onto archaic reel-to-tape machines. The lo-fi, deeply lethargic arrangements weave fragile acoustic guitars and dilapidated pianos into a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere heavily associated with the slowcore movement.
