Drone + meditative four-on-the-floor techno. Anti-dance techno built on trancelike release, loneliness, and mindscapes. “A full on tripping and pulsing surround sound sensory bliss kiss”

1. (6:00) *** All My Rifles—Rustling, swaying, wintry techno with some glitch
2. (1:18) Almost Sky Burial—Field recordings of wind and helicopters, harsh noise
3. (3:07) * Where2—Playful, jittery, thick heartbeat pulse, crackling noise, reminds me strongly of Tim Hecker’s Virgins
4. (5:16) *** Half Blu—Jagged house, static, bleeps and bloops
5. (1:06) Ohio Nights—Windswept, forlorn, ambient interlude
6. (3:15) ** Amen Curse—Dreamy sweeping drones and a serious house beat, shrill whistling noises, metallic
7. (3:54) *** 1st Red Dead—Pensive, haunting, tripped-out, hectic, still serene
8. (5:07) *** Failslike—Harsh noise to start, aquatic synth, dubby beat steadily becomes the most prominent layer, dreamlike and demented
9. (1:30) Noy (Shy)—Frosty, sedate, erratic drones and hisses
10. (2:55) ** Yemen—Spacious and serene, like Teen Daze run through a techno filter, male vox in last minute
