i've heard lots of stunning music in last months but these tracks go through as the most personal ones. even though it's so abstract, at times it feels like visiting a friend for couple of refuge-days, taking children out of a kindergarten with her or going for a stroll in a forest together. at other times it feels like reading her journal or looking at photos on her phone.
all of this sensitivity coupled with the stronger sound just feels like the perfect combination.

Whilst still identifiably the Erasers sound, this album is slightly darker and more cinematic than it's predecessor.
One dominant keyboard sound is eerily reminiscent of Vangelis in Bladerunner mode, which lends the album, in particular on a song like 'Heavy Worlds' an eerie, dystopian feel.
The percussive elements are slightly more syncopated, but no less metronomic, and that vocal drone and slithers its way through everything like a diffident cry.
A beautiful sigh, surrounded by darkness. Michael Mueller
