Comment: Erik Nilsson`s album starts out with an obscure but majestic snippet as if were brought forth from GYBE!-like space somewhere, which soon will be followed by glitch-pieced micro rhythms and folktronic overthrows being surrounded by modern classical shadows around it. In fact, the following tracks will continue running on the similar template, at times adding some glockenspiel embellishments and more and less bouncing cadences. During its course permanently changing guitar timbres and chord sequences are getting close to flamenco and psych-blues guitars, Some tracks on it used to remind in its breathtaking of Oskar Hallbert`s touch or gillicuddy`s experimentalism. For instance, the last two notches are genuinely odd experiments with elliptical loops on electro-acoustic and psych-folk mode.
