Comment: this release by Todd Klempner involves a handful of lengthy compositions made up of the pulsations of Earth, our home planet, slightly psychedelic panoramas and broad ambiances surrounding the human being on the countryside. However, because of being slowly growing while staying majestic the compositions seem to be highly epic and even touched with ritualistic whiffs which in turn are embellished with the croaks of seagulls and flickering humidity located against the background of a picturesque scale. Furthermore, at times, at the time of its most exulting moments it used to reach the borders of post-rock and shoegaze.
