Album Notes & Community Reviews

The solo outing from the Earth founder and drone metal pioneer is a cinematic instrumental journey inspired by the historical narratives of the American West. Featuring restrained, echoing guitar improvisations and subtle contributions from Emma Ruth Rundle, the album evokes a desolate, sun-bleached desert atmosphere.
