Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a prominent figure in the experimental folk underground, the multi-instrumentalist crafts a profoundly desolate and apocalyptic Americana landscape. Layering mournful acoustic instruments over lethargic post-rock structures and thick guitar drones, 'Autumn Is the End' serves as a deeply melancholic, largely instrumental meditation on seasonal decay.
