Not having much of a point of reference for this release by Flug 8, I listened and was transported. Like the soundtrack to an open sky, the compositions exponentially build until they occupy the vacant space only to be swept away in advance of another auditory colonization. It’s an album that does feeling and mood beautifully, inasmuch as the listener just has to colour in the various sonic panels in order to elicit an emotive charge. Guitars are lazily plucked but their drones last forever, tempting the imagination into respiratory motion. Listening to the album from start to finish is an incredibly meditative, reverberatory experience whose impact is gradually felt, and lingers log after.
