Around

Four tracks of monolithic, slow-motion shoegaze. A heavy, immersive experience that feels like being submerged in warm, grey water for twenty-eight minutes.

It's like being wrapped in a heavy, vibrating blanket while it rains outside.

A heavy, protective layer of melancholic noise that feels like a safe place to hide.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the opening track Drain takes nearly nine minutes to fully dissolve into its own feedback.
The sudden, crushing weight of the distorted bass entry on Swoon that feels like a physical pressure.
The final three minutes of the title track where the melody finally surfaces from the noise.
