Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a companion piece to 'Before the Day Breaks', this collaboration reunites the former Cocteau Twins guitarist with the legendary avant-garde pianist. The recording utilizes Guthrie's signature treated guitar textures as a shimmering backdrop for Budd's sparse, meditative piano phrasing, resulting in profoundly tranquil nocturnal soundscapes.
