The album is a mixture of raw and layered post-rock. The 5 tracks that make the EP are based around a Haiku. Tracks 1 3 and 5 are the actual haiku while 2 and 4 are caesuras. Because of the format the music also set to flow this way. The haiku tracks are a live band tracked together in a room (strings and minimal pad layering actually were added later). I wanted the band dynamics and flow to come from a drummer at his kit and the melodies I was playing on my guitar. The caesuras are compositions I painted like a picture with recording and layering techniques. The result is a work of music that will ebbs and flows from demanding your attention to letting you drift.At first when listening to this EP, I missed the smooth, painstaking production and arrangement of AM's first full-length. After a couple listens though, I fell in love with the living, breathing dynamic of the live-in-studio performances. I also now feel that the texture and ambience is even more skillfully executed than on the first album. When the band gets into those swells of layer-upon-layer of passionate sound, I'm completely immersed in the sensation of beauty. Favorite track: Slumber, savage beasts. - fan from band camp websiteMatt is an awesome artist, inspirational and incredibly poetic. This record is a bit darker and sad compared to his previous one which is more dreamy and nostalgic, it's perfectly crafted and emotional as usual. Favorite track: In lonesome winter forest. - Fellow artist from band camp websiteExtraordinary, beautiful—but then again it's Aural Method so what did you expect. Favorite track: Breathe deep your chorus. - fan from band camp website
