Album Notes & Community Reviews

An incredibly expansive, highly immersive acoustic drone record from the Virginia-based experimental collective. Integrating traditional Appalachian instrumentation with profound Eastern spiritual influences, the album relies on long-form, deeply meditative improvisations to construct a hypnotic, deeply psychedelic free-folk atmosphere.
