tentaclequing 🐙 Any time I need my gut and heart wrenched, I'll come back to this preciously harrowing piece. Favorite track: Sunrise Skulls.

starcad From my personal point of view by far her best album. Wonderfully spooky and beautifully arranged. The vocals are phenomenally good and deep. The whole album is a favorite of mine, the whole and each of its parts. And definitely in the special edition with 12 songs and 1 hour running time. Real masterpiece.

sleepyheadphone If Ask the Deep was dark, this is pitch black. I didn't think Sóley would go this deep, but she did and the result is maybe her best record, certainly her most intense.

Honestly there are so many amazing tracks on this album and is a just as good as the previous Team Dreams album these collaboration albums are what got me into indie music as i only really listened to metal before hand this album offers such a mix of listening experiences all of which it executes incredibly well i honestly hope to see them make another one of these soon as they are all fantastic artists individually so seeing them work together again on another album would be a blessing. satanik_pigeon
