Album Notes & Community Reviews

Luke Younger delivers a tense, paranoid masterpiece of modern electroacoustic music inspired by exhaustion and urban alienation. Heavily utilizing field recordings, decaying tape loops, and murky dub-techno rhythms, the atmosphere is suffocatingly dense and deeply nocturnal. The compositions crawl forward with a lethargic, hallucinatory momentum that mimics the feeling of severe sleep deprivation in a sprawling city.
