Kosmische, electronic ambient psychedelia-drone. Has also got that Ferraro-esque 80’s infomercial-at-4am-feel to it. Ken Camden is a big fan of the delay, sustain, and phaser pedals and his guitars and electronics are often heavily processed. For fans of Emeralds, Oneohtrix Point Never, Olde English Spelling Bee.

*1. Warm, swirling bleeps and bloops and groaning drone. Like some drugged out Candyland in space. (6:57)
2. Rhythmic, Eastern tonal arrangement with huuuge, cyclical delay; layers of processed sequencers. (7:01)
3. Phasers, delay pedals, kind of difficult with all the pauses and panning effects. (7:33)
4. Indian Raga drone; overdriven, distorted electric guitar sustains lengthy psychedelic pitch-bending notes. (8:10)
*5. Production is a little more lo-fi on this one, distorted phaser electronics, stoner shit, here – quite a mind-mashing ,outer-space Eastern bliss-out. (7:40)
6. Slow, drawn-out synth wanderings and layers, gets a little bit dissonant; arty; a la Leyland Kirby. (11:45)
