Album Notes & Community Reviews

The prolific Australian multi-instrumentalist pivots toward more rhythmic, jazz-adjacent territory, prominently featuring intricate percussion from Brazilian veteran Cyro Baptista. The record slowly builds upon subtle, repetitive guitar figures, eventually blossoming into warm, softly tropical soundscapes that avoid the abrasive qualities of his previous avant-garde experiments.
