Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping entirely away from the crushing post-metal of his primary band Neurosis, Von Till delivers a gorgeously barren set of acoustic Americana. His deeply weathered, gravelly voice perfectly suits the somber, melancholic tone of these traditional-leaning folk ballads.
