Album Review

Reviewed 2016-11-07
Husband/wife ambient noise duo from Tennessee. Bliss out noise with interesting keyboard and guitar melodies, lo-fi production. Walls of sound similar to Jefre Cantu-Ledesma's Love is a Stream. Great for late nite angst.

1. (1:22) Melted Dashboard VHS Song—Primitive, metallic, lo-fi.
2. (2:54) *** Turning Point, Grassy Gap Fire Trail—“Blown out love” (tm abra) noise track with string-like synths.
3. (3:00) ** Lingering Just Outside Your Field of Vision—Calm, gaping, nostalgic. Female voice.
4. (7:17) *** Mountain Laurel & Foxfire—Stupefying Love is a Stream noise to lose yourself in, fluttering synth melody beneath.
5. (3:06) Metallic Green Dodge Shadow—Boards of Canada soundtracking the end of time.
6. (2:12) ** Spiritual Warfare/Fuck Satan, Part Two—Blissful ambient noise.
7. (6:08) *** I’m Afraid I Won’t Miss It Much Around Here—Yearning, escalating guitar melody bathed in noise, destroys you.
8. (2:36) That Which Transcends Mere Ritual—Bleating electronics and sweeping drones.
9. (5:55) Xanax vs. The Past—Regretful, erratic, cuts off in last two minutes to sparse piano and recording of some guy talking.
10. (5:15) *** Sinking Ship/Exit Ramp—Haunting recording of a woman recounting a transcendent experience. Backed by constant drone and crackling noise.
