Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second full-length from the Arizona darkwave project expands their deeply isolationist sound with denser layers of chorus-drenched guitars and suffocating drum machines. Mike VanPortfleet's whispered, anguished vocals drift through the nocturnal, ethereal mix, cementing the record as a masterpiece of crushing, atmospheric melancholy.
