Album Notes & Community Reviews

An all-female experimental electronic supergroup featuring Eliane Radigue, Kaffe Matthews, Ryoko Akama, and Antye Greie (AGF). This highly abstract, entirely improvisational album explores extremely minimal digital soundscapes, combining microscopic glitch elements, fragmented spoken word, and subtle, oscillating low-frequency drones.
