Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from the agonizing harsh noise of his earlier masterpieces, the experimental producer crafts a double-disc epic of profound, glacial drone. Released on Dominick Fernow's Hospital Productions, the incredibly quiet, patient compositions are built entirely from shifting analog synthesizer textures that evoke a terrifying, frozen stillness. It is universally heralded as one of the most masterful, immersive drone records of the 21st century.
