Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a specialized moniker for experimental musician Steven R. Smith, this project interprets traditional Eastern European melodies through an intensely lo-fi, drone-heavy lens. The arrangements utilize archaic instrumentation alongside heavily processed guitars to create a haunting, anachronistic atmosphere.
