"Craig Dempsey (of US Prisms, Ben Trickey Full Band, The Weight, Thoroughbred, At the Price of the Union and many more) has issued his long overdue solo album of expansive, cinematic, and alarmingly beautiful instrumental ambient/drone. Dempsey has been working and refining his approach to guitar and synth based compositions for some time, mostly as a member of improvisation based heavy drone band US Prisms and as a collaborator on scores for Atlanta based filmmakers. Marthasville Fine Audio Recordings is proud to release this stunning solo debut."-Marthasville Fine Audio Recordings

Essentially a solo album from composer and improviser based in NYC Hampus Öhman-Frölund, this extended work uses a zither as its basis, augmented by a MicroKorg and the voice of Huvudbry bandmate Avery Leigh Draut, using no set tempo and framed and inspired around a picture of the woods near where Öhman-Frölund grew up; really lovely and inspired work.
