Description:
The initial experience of listening to this record is one of disbelief. How can the music be so ethereal, slipping through cognitive attempts to frame it? Once this suspended state has been accepted however, the listening experience brings the mind to wander in uncharted territories, abstract and even dark at times. The same is true of the record as is true of the music, referencing the Heraclitus quote chosen by Bryn Harrison for the album cover: 'You cannot step in the same river twice'
