No Highs
An anxious, beautifully fretful antidote to corporate playlist ambient, pairing decaying church organs with Colin Stetson's distorted woodwinds.

Anxious minimalist critique
Cold, gritty air fills these tracks, where decaying church organs grind against Colin Stetson’s distorted woodwinds. Instead of soothing you to sleep, the music pulses with a beautiful, fretful anxiety. It feels like watching a storm roll over a concrete landscape, offering a sharp, tense refuge from the numbness of modern life.
Critics warmly received the album's tense, immersive atmosphere, appreciating the unsettling beauty of its pulsing electronic textures and stark instrumentation. However, some reviewers found the unrelenting anxiety and lack of emotional release to be somewhat exhausting, noting that the record's austere nature could at times feel alienating.
