Bless whatever cosmic winds brought together this split between NYC guitarist and composer Ezra Feinberg and multi-instrumentalist John Kolodij. Traveling deep blue highways of the mind, their split LP opens up the stunning vistas that link these two artists in sound and texture. Their compositions offer an immersive headphone record that pairs rich guitar work – thick with droning overtones or riding heavy with in-the-red distortion – with bucolic woodwinds, brass, piano, strings and electronic processing. An album that finds both artists at peak form.

"Feinberg and Kolodij have tended towards headphone records in the past, but this one is primed for listening in a personal bubble. They balance darkness with light in equal measures, creating a record that’s part new beginning, part tidal breath." - Raven Sings the Blues
"Both artists work patiently with sounds, staying present in moments that stretch on indefinitely, without seeming to long for resolution or catharsis. This is music for sitting absolute still, looking inward." - Dusted Magazine
"If you have any interest in the more textured zone where post-rock has bumped into its good friend, post-classical, even out-folk; the world of Talk Talk, of Rachel’s, others, then let’s just be saying this album might be one to build a nest in your head. It’s a very pretty thing that does much across the quartet of tracks it contains." - Backseat Mafia

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough

Bright gray sheets of roaring and shimmering guitar held aloft by a delicate web of percussion. Post-rock, shoegaze, psych- rock and hints of bluesy folk, all audible and enmeshed. IlsaJ
