Drone/ambient/noise
Ultra-limited release on KZSU fave Inam Records. An immersive and captivating fusion of the quiet and heavy ends of the drone spectrum, from soft ambient hums to blasts of noise. The songs fade into one another, so play them together or fade them in and out manually. No words, no FCCs.

1. (5:23)—Begins with ambient tones and soft rhythms, like it’s approaching something danceable. At the two-minute mark, blistering noise enters, builds, cuts out, and returns along with a deep, ominous tone.
2. (9:47)—Soft, deep, pulsing refrigerator noise. Low-level percussion enters around -6:00. Noise builds but doesn’t explode into full-on abrasiveness. Higher tones begin to dominate the mix.
3. (4:33)—Slow, blown-out percussion. Pretty, ominous, granulated drones.
