An excellent ambient affair by Fragile X. However, this isn't a static ambient by the numbers release. Instead, it is full of interesting turns and sonic ruminations within each composition, with each track containing a series of restrained, almost poetic melody lines. The title track is the most evocative with its bass coda, serving as a beacon to which the listener can guide their senses as they navigate the rest of the album more daydream like moments.

what an amazing tapestry of sonic storytelling in this incredible album. My favorite track is a story in and of itself and the use of field recordings all throughout this album makes you feel like you're right in the middle of the narratives presented here. very well done and highly recommended. 10/10.
