Comments:
Listening to this album is like floating in a sea of beautiful noise. The music requires some attention—lots of subtle layers and gentle shifts in mood and melodies as songs progress. Riceboy Sleeps can take you to some deeply emotional places, even though there are no lyrics. (lasherboy@gmail.com)
