A soft droning album that’s good for late nights and early mornings. As an ambient album it’s pretty good. First track is the best. it’s a little reminiscent of The Caretaker. No FCCs, but there aren’t really vocals besides some vocalizations.
Review by Alan

1. 25:24; far away clangs and lonely hums like the dreary saturday morning when you don’t have anything to do and wish you did. everything wakes up slowly but feels just like you do. a lot of solidarity in loneliness here

2. 7:24; something’s lurking but it doesn’t find you. so you sit down and enjoy some ethereal space sounds. good water organ style sounds, it’s really tranquil towards the end. a good short ambient track

3. 5:00; some jingles in the second half, but really just a steady drone of noise slowly but surely growing and strengthening before it ends. some “vocals” too

4. 10:42; gentle drones feel like a fuzzy blanket at the end of your saturday. there’s a lot of hope that the next day will be exciting but deep down you know it won’t. it’s okay though because you’re comfortable. not exactly an optimistic track but it’s simple and happy.
