ambient music . With Land Greinke's goal "was to push this layering technique using a four piece band, although texture continues to be a focus."cite web

The textures shift like waves, sometimes quietly, sometimes evoking specific places, such as the bamboo tones of China, on "Shu." "Ku" becomes disquieting with its discordance, but overall this is quite a subdued record."cite web
