Album Notes & Community Reviews

Ben Chasny's inaugural release on the Drag City imprint marks a notable shift towards slightly cleaner studio fidelity compared to his prior lo-fi cassettes. The sprawling instrumental compositions incorporate intricate acoustic fingerpicking and expansive, meditative drone elements, heavily supported by Chris Corsano's dynamic percussion work.
