This is a superb album. It’s a solid psych vibe with a range of tracks from slow groove-laden jams to more uptempo grooves, edgy and experimental to jangly.
There’s an excellent range of really well layered sounds from drones, basses, synths often with created use of delay with self-oscillation / feedback.
Vocals are superb too, often with a floaty, ethereal feel.
Visitation
Sparse opening with drone and delayed guitar notes / string scrape effects. Drums enter, accompanied by layered effects with feedback increasing the tension to a final release to drone.
Liquid Memoryman
Brilliant vibe from the opening fuzzy bass given a solid momentum by drums. Delayed guitar chords are somewhere between a ska and surf feel. Vocals add a great element, with the swirling delayed effects it has a trippy feel at times.

Synth bass with glitchy percussion and delayed vocal fx create a solid groove. Vocals have a floaty feel, layered guitar and distorted effects create a superb contrasting edgy vibe which builds to a final release.

A short track with delayed glitchy percussive / metallic sounds and background sounds effects.

Great hook to open, percussion and drum pattern adds to the vibe. Vocals have a floaty almost ASMR feel. It’s a superb laid back groove.

Uptempo edgy groove from bass, riff, drums and background sound effects. Reversed guitar adds a drone like quality. Delayed guitar chords and feedback-like background sounds add a contrasting edge of tension.
