Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as the harrowing penultimate stage in Leyland Kirby's monumental six-part audio exploration of dementia, the project crosses entirely into terrifying auditory decay. The beautiful ballroom samples of earlier stages are now completely unrecognizable, suffocated beneath overwhelming layers of digital distortion, tangled noise, and deep acoustic confusion. It is a profoundly disturbing, emotionally devastating representation of late-stage cognitive deterioration.
