Album Notes & Community Reviews

Collaborating once again with Low's Alan Sparhawk for production, Jessica Bailiff delivers a profoundly atmospheric sophomore record[cite: 1]. 'Hour of the Trace' heavily utilizes dense layers of guitar distortion and ethereal, hushed vocals to create an enveloping fusion of slowcore pacing, shoegaze textures, and deeply melancholic ambient drones[cite: 1].
