Lost Channels

Natural reverb from stone walls and river air. A collection of ghostly, pastoral folk songs recorded in castles and churches across the Thousand Islands.

It sounds like someone found a way to record the feeling of a quiet morning on the St. Lawrence River.

A serene and historically-minded meditation on the intersection of nature and human memory.
