Originally conceived as a collaborative score for a modern dance performance, the chamber ensemble's fifth album heavily integrates urban field recordings into their delicate string and piano arrangements. It marks the group's most pronounced shift toward incorporating subtle electronic processing and modern minimalist textures.
