Album Notes & Community Reviews

Heavily impacted by the sudden passing of her longtime collaborator Eric Littmann during the recording process, this album serves as a gorgeous, atmospheric elegy. The acoustic guitar work is augmented by sweeping strings, synthesizers, and harp, creating a highly delicate and ethereal sonic environment. It stands as a profound testament to grief, resilience, and the enduring power of friendship.
