Album Notes & Community Reviews

Named after the capital of Greenland, the German ambient pioneer constructs a chilling, deeply isolating auditory representation of the Arctic landscape. The minimalist recordings rely on immense, slow-moving sub-bass drones and subtle, icy field recordings to induce a profound sense of physical cold and geographic desolation.
