Escape the Day

A Berlin duo (Lars and Florian) active for about two years until 2005. The band left behind an unreleased album, Ghostless; after Florian's death the project was closed and the album circulated via file-sharing.

According to the DeBaser review, Florian was a friend of Don Anderson (Agalloch), and Anderson dedicated 'Our Fortress is Burning' to him; the record Ghostless is described as minimal, melancholic and featuring guitars, piano, cello and occasional clarinet and female voices.
