A heavy, reverb-drenched meditation on memory and mortality that feels like a humid night in the deep South.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, circular guitar interplay between Bill Frisell and Greg Leisz on the title track that mimics the rhythm of a long drive.
The raw, skeletal vulnerability of the vocals on 'Dust' where the music seems to disintegrate into the atmosphere.
The twelve-minute improvisational sprawl of 'Faith & Grace' where the band shifts into a deep, spiritual groove.
