Album Notes & Community Reviews

Surprise-released online, this hour-long collection is structurally built around a sprawling, 11-minute title track that interpolates elements of Simon & Garfunkel's 'The Sound of Silence'. Despite its billing as an EP, the sheer length and intensely dense orchestration rival most full-length albums. It operates as an expansive playground for the artist's grandiose arrangements and theological lyrical obsessions.
