“six modal lullabies drenched in seared distortion, slathered across striding electronic pulses” [liner notes]

“We’re honoring that idea of winter, when you come inside and your house is warm, a place that only exists because of how cold it is outside […] Seeing things from a distance and not being able to intervene happens a lot on the record, if you’re a feeling and thinking person, that’s just part of the human condition. We watch horror unfolding from afar, unable to do anything concrete to change it.” – Efrim Menuck
