Organic witching-hour experimental music from prolific Boston-based musician. Fans of spoken word poetry and dark ambient will really dig this one. Great variety of spooky textures while avoiding cliches and keeping things profound and wonder-eyed. Dedicated to a late friend of the artist.

SIDE A
1. (2:23) Spoken word about voodoo over a gently galloping beat
2. (3:01) Gentle fluety ambient
3. (5:41) Haunting, industrial, sparse
4. (1:45) Deep, resonating with clanging drums. Short voicemail sample, fireworks, and footsteps
5. (3:23) Spiritual, reverb-drenched chanting. Transitions to mechanical vibrating at the 1 min mark
6. (2:07) Short British voicemail with gloomy synth and horns in the background
7. (1:23) Gloomy noise
SIDE B
8. (3:44) Spoken word poetry about a magpie discussing salvation with a buzzard over a gentle jazzy background. Social commentary about human civilization and religious salvation.
9. (4:24) Wandering synthesizer over a steady bassbeat. The last minute is staticy drone
10. (5:19) Poetry reading over an ambient bed. Blossoms into a really excellent electronic beat at the 2:25 mark. Last 20 seconds are basically silence
11. (3:36) Short vocal sample. Phillip Glass - style synth spirals. Bright and sunny, really beautiful.
12. (0:44) Short cacophonous hardcore rock outro with yelled vocals
