These ceremonial meanderings could be the intermittent transmissions of campfire songs picked up by intergalactic satellites. With up to eight musicians playing at once, individual intentions are quickly subsumed by the murky bog of the collective unconscious, until communal imaginings begin to reveal themselves. Past and future collapse as haunting old-time banjo melodies fade into squiggly synthesizers and lo-fi electronics. Distant harmonicas sink behind thick fogs of ghostly whirring, while fragments of warped slide guitar, drone fiddle and echo percussion bubble through the folky primordial soup.
