Notable Quotes

❝ What emerges is a bastard mix made of dark atmospheres, anguished chord cycles repeated ad infinitum, but also bucolic watercolors and songs with catchy choruses.

❝ This is "Between Skylla and Charybdis", a spiral of dreamlike beauty, a monument of infinite and desolate splendor: a quarter of an hour worth the purchase and perhaps an entire existence.
