Genre: dust, decay, ambient, guitar, sand, caves

Texas artist with a penchant for all things noisy and fading. A really entrancing ambient release with a keen ear for detail and rich instrumentation. Permeate the airwaves with its breathtaking atmosphere.

Others: Hiss Tracts, Villages, Tim Hecker, Lawrence English, Room 40

Favorites: 2, 1. No FCCs.

1. (6:41) *** The Mechanics of Breathing - Rough, hissing ambient textures. Turns into transfixing, layered drone. Sustained keening synthesized vox. Subtle guitar shifts into view. A ravaged wasteland.
2. (7:00) **** Counterparts - Grainy, heavenly guitar and voice loops. Bassy drone. Pretty guitar playing. Biting noise takes over. Cool to see an ambient track that moves this much.
3. (5:39) ** Fauna West - Fog, stalagmites. Presses deeper and deeper into the cavern.
4. (8:42) Ninety One Ever - Dusty, reverby found sound. More aimless guitar. Gets noisier as the track progresses.
