Low, sliding basslines and the hiss of archival cassette tapes drift through the dark like smoke. Her voice hovers over electric piano chords, loose and conversational, as if singing to an empty room. It feels like a late-night wake where jazz legends and folk memories blur into a single, quiet room.
