Dream Car Cold Car

by Eight Kidneys

supported by

__kla beautiful burbling stuttering synth journey with depth-of-field and lots of texture. gradually reaches transcendent moments with aid of clacking percussion. while meditative, tactful tears in the fabric resist passive listening; the two pieces reward active listening. great headphone music for another insane year.

about

Feel free to listen in either order.

--

Longform electronic music indebted to minimal techno, classical drone, "In a Silent Way", ambient noise, glitch, post-rock, new age, Afrobeat, American primitive, space rock, and movie scores.

An album about losing people and losing dogs, and about the people and dogs that are still here.
