How Not to Die on a Desert Island

Fourteen minutes of sun-dazed, tape-warped beats. A minimalist survival guide told through dusty piano loops and the sound of distant waves.

November 22, 2019

A quiet, sun-bleached solitude that feels like a relief from the world.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition into the final track where the crackle of a dying fire becomes the primary rhythmic element.

The way the piano melody in 'The Peak' seems to stumble and recover, mimicking a slow climb.

The brief, skeletal percussion on 'Wooden Raft' that feels like wood knocking against wood in open water.
