Behind a luminous, translucent veil, we find ourselve immersed in ethereal, electro-acoustic sound worlds emerging from fragments of Lithuanian folk songs. With blissful instrumental contributions from Laraaji, Shahzad Ismaily, Bill Frisell, and Craig Taborn, the duo delicately weave celestial zithers, otherwordly vocals, warm guitar melodies, glitchy electronics and softly blooming synth pads into a colorful, healing cocoon full of harmonious secrets.
