Comment: this set of 9 notches consisting of sloppy decelerated rhythms, lone piano chords, and minor orchestrated chamber music fringes. Some tracks are adorned with spoken word snippets in Russian (obviously sampled from old cartoons of Sojuzmultfilm). It is a bit autumnal music with stylised sadness coming from Montrèal, Canada. One can feel invigorative chill flowing from the slots of it. At times it is so slowed down you cannot call it trip-hop anymore – it is rather chillstep instead of it. The exquisite outing is a part of the discography of such labels as Illsound, and Dusted Wax Kingdom.
