Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third album by the Duster-affiliated indie rock project continues Jason Albertini's mastery of hazy, lo-fi pop and lethargic slowcore aesthetics. The tracks are steeped in warm tape hiss, tumbling drum beats, and jangly acoustic guitars that feel entirely relaxed and deeply hypnotic. It stands as a hidden gem of the late-2000s Pacific Northwest lo-fi scene.
