about

PLEASE DON'T BUY DIGITAL ONLY FROM US! BUY FROM THE ARTIST DIRECT FOR LESS: omnempathy.bandcamp.com/album/fortress-longing

The classic 2011 album comes to cassette. Possibly the most beautiful, sad and miraculous album I've ever heard. Cavernous blankets of sound longing for blankets of sand. I've had twelve years to try to figure out how to pitch this to you and I still don't know how to do it justice with the written word. It's an honor to share this with you.

Digital version just includes "Fortress Longing" but the double cassette version has Michael Begg & Colin Potter's 36 minute remix of the whole album on side three. Side four has a lost broadcast called "Introduction to Fortress Longing" which serves as a coda to the whole album

released June 13, 2011
