Following a string of increasingly electronica-minded releases, Billow Observatory returns to the haunted hunting grounds of their 2012 debut with a fully ambient, percussionless pearl. Embracing chance and randomness, spectral guitars rise, flitter, and crackle into dusty particulates as the concept of time is thrown out the window on each track. An increasingly hostile society no doubt contributes to the album's sense of introspection and the quest for "otherness". Brooding, spooky, and beautiful, listeners are rewarded with a highly detailed collection of songs evoking visions of slowly spinning globes being knocked slightly off axis.
