Классная музыка, и правда есть нечто общее с Walknut, хотя тут некоей легкости в атмосфере больше.

The Self titled album still gets better every time I listen to it. Production is right on spot, and the variation in tempo (as well as the acoustic interlude) keep it from becoming uninteresting

I really like the way the drums sound, tbh. The whole production is pretty much exactly what it should be.

Listening to the s/t on bandcamp has convinced me that youtube completely murders audio quality, I was unimpressed when I heard them on youtube.

Glad to see the album got a CD release. But I'm really hoping there'll be a vinyl release. Flenser Records or Gilead Media seem like they'd be perfect choices to release it if they're interested.
