Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originating from Bloomington, Indiana, the collective delivers a profoundly stark, slow-moving debut steeped in atmospheric melancholy. 'Placer Found' utilizes glacial tempos, shimmering delay pedals, and deeply reflective lyricism to evoke vast, isolated American landscapes. The record is widely recognized as a foundational, incredibly moving piece of the modern ambient Americana and slowcore movements.
