This track both hurts and validates my feelings, depending on what I need when I listen to it. And when I need it, it helps, even when it hurts. Bartzabel
The Portland ambient musician uses fuzzy moog synths, mellotron tones, hushed piano, and subtle textures to create a modern holiday classic. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 2, 2025
Listening to Shallow is like reading an Emily Dickinson poem: I can never guess which word will come next or what the rhythms of speech will be, but I’m startled and in awe at the directions they take. It feels like she is slowing her life down so she can trace her way back to her essential self, wresting beauty from ugliness and healing from heartache. I’m just a finger pointing to the moon. Listen if you can. It’s a special album and a wonderful offering to the world. Thank you Sea🤍 richardc2
