Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Nashville duo's debut full-length masterfully strips away the aggressive percussion of traditional post-rock to focus entirely on lush, cinematic guitar swells. By heavily layering reverb and delay pedals, Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson construct an overwhelmingly peaceful, deeply melancholic ambient landscape.
