Claude says:Andy Othling's one-man ambient project out of Albuquerque had already moved from the epic sweep of Carry Us All Away to the darker electronica of Migratory Patterns when he released this seventh effort in 2011, continuing his prolific run of layered guitar atmospheres and field recordings. This one landed a year after release, in early 2012, right as you were diving deep into his catalog. You circled back to "A Little Lair For A Very Small Bear" and "The Right Kind Of Dark" hardest during that brief but focused window, then left it behind for years except for one quiet revisit in late 2016.
