Album Notes & Community Reviews

Shedding almost all percussion and industrial elements present in his earlier discography, Douglas P. delivers one of the most purely acoustic, minimalist albums of his long-running, highly controversial neofolk project. The stark instrumentation relies almost exclusively on bleak acoustic guitar strumming and spoken-word poetry, exploring themes of aging, disillusionment, and European decay. It represents an exceptionally fragile, bare-bones era for the foundational dark-folk act.
