Sleeper ~ From Beyond

The frequency wobbles in pitch, its tonal turbulence degrading as it slithers through the tunnels of the mind, able to levitate above the sleepy sound. Angelic voices are quick to evaporate, along with the flutter of the flute. Their origin

woodworkings ~ day breaks the morning shapes we speak

It’s been years since we’ve heard from Kyle Woodworth (woodworkings).  A 2010 4-disc box set drew a chapter to a close, followed by three years of silence ~ and now this welcome return.  Thanks to time, or experience, or wisdom,
