Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during socially distanced jam sessions in their rehearsal space, 'We Have Amnesia Sometimes' is a purely instrumental and improvisational album. The five lengthy tracks are hypnotic explorations of ambient drone and minimalist post-rock, built on repetitive, layered textures of organ and guitar. It's a meditative and atmospheric document of the band's creative process in a time of isolation.
