  This album feels like stepping into a trance and letting the dub echoes and endless reverb guide you. It’s a hypnotic listen that doesn’t demand much at first, but if you give yourself over, the music has its way with your head and emotions. Birds chirp and feel like they’re inside your room rather than tucked away in a recording, and that kind of detail makes the whole thing immersive in a genius way.

  It’s not for everybody, but for those willing to surrender to its pace and strangeness, there’s a real payoff. The tracks are repetitive, yet somehow never stale. Central themes hang around while randomness sneaks in like little pockets of surprise. It almost feels like you’re sitting in the room while the mix is happening, watching it bend and morph in real time.

  “Oxbow Lakes” is a highlight, those piano notes working like a brain hack with their twisting, shifting rhythm that feels like it’s unlocking something. “Montagne D’Or (Der Gute Berg)” can verge on grating, but you stay with it because you’re not meant to leave, it’s part of the larger trip.

  The whole listen is a journey with a defined beginning and end, but the in-between is full of offramps and onramps. Each track is a new turn, sometimes smooth, sometimes sharp, always reshaping the road beneath you. The question isn’t whether you’ll enjoy every second, it’s whether you can stay the course. And if you do, you’ll want to come back again.
