Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a distinct shift in Matthew Bower's prolific output, this release largely abandons heavy distortion in favor of chaotic, acoustic string improvisation. The project embraces an incredibly murky, free-folk aesthetic, weaving dissonant violins and guitars into deeply mysterious, pastoral drone compositions.
