greengreenthursday A piano looped to infinity. A fuzzy blanket of a melody dimming down your thinking- while not singing you to sleep, but instead transporting you into a state of total immediacy and lucidity. It's actually hard to describe and I think it's the closest I can come to actual meditation. Awakening from this at the end of the record feels akin to leaving a womb, like you've been tossed out of a very safe, very pleasant place and into a garish world. To be listened to in darkness.
