Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the ethereal, ambient-leaning introduction to the band's completely untitled album, the piece is officially known only by its track number. J贸nsi's vocals are sung entirely in 'Vonlenska', a fabricated, non-literal language utilized strictly for its melodic instrumentation. The composition's hauntingly funereal pace creates a deeply immersive, glacial atmosphere that defined 2000s post-rock.
