Departed Glories

Biosphere

Ghostly loops of Eastern European folk music submerged in thick, murky reverb. A haunting meditation on historical trauma hidden within beautiful landscapes.

August 5, 2016 · Smalltown Supersound

A heavy, spectral beauty that feels like walking through a forest haunted by centuries of unspoken memory.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the vocal loop in Wyll and Purpose slowly dissolves into a thick wash of reverb.
The title track's sudden emergence of a recognizable folk melody through a dense layer of sonic grime.
The final minutes of Fall Asleep for Me where the textures thin out into a fragile, breathing silence.
