Album Notes & Community Reviews
Operating on the extreme minimalist fringes of avant-folk, the prolific British experimentalist stripped his sound down to little more than stark a cappella vocals and deeply repetitive acoustic strumming. The extended, trance-inducing tracks explore themes of celestial isolation and profound spiritual desolation.
