Album Notes & Community Reviews

The former Maher Shalal Hash Baz member delivers a starkly minimalist, profoundly quiet set of avant-garde acoustic pieces. Recorded with deliberate lo-fi warmth, the album consists primarily of solitary vocals and sparse instrumental backing. It conjures a rural, nocturnal atmosphere that feels both incredibly fragile and slightly ominous.
