Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired directly by the German forest of its namesake, 'Königsforst' is an incredibly dense, highly repetitive masterwork of ambient techno. The album layers brass and string samples into massive, hypnotic drones, delivering a calming yet deeply atmospheric and rhythmic hallucination.
