Album Notes & Community Reviews

Initially released entirely as a free digital download alongside 'Snowflake Midnight', this sprawling instrumental companion album finds the veteran indie act diving into purely electronic, ambient pop. The beatless, synthesizer-heavy soundscapes emphasize deep, hypnotic atmospherics rather than traditional rock songwriting.
