In these cold days, you need some insulation — whether it's warm socks or pillowy ambient comfort. This pairing of minimalist composer and Cocteau Twins' guitarist is literally a dream project, and I'm happy to nestle into its textures until I am evicted.
A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.
