Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally released in extremely limited quantities, 'The Winter Ray' is a ghostly, expansive journey through drone and post-rock. The French duo creates a soundscape that feels ancient and desolate, evoking the stillness of a frozen landscape. It is an essential part of their mysterious and prolific catalog.
