Incidental Contact

Thirteen tracks of hushed, close-miked folk. A masterclass in physical proximity, where every breath and string squeak feels like a shared secret.

It's like a therapy session where the therapist just plays beautiful, sad guitar for forty minutes.

A quiet, unflinching look at the self through a lens of extreme tenderness and hushed melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the vocal track on Altar feels like it is being whispered directly into your ear canal.
The subtle, rhythmic pulse of the acoustic guitar on Long Distance Runner that mimics a steady, weary gait.
The atmospheric drift of the closing track Slowly Moving Cars, where the production feels as blurred as headlights through a foggy windshield.
