A Pillar of Clouds

forgotten_entropy I couldn't get enough of the ivytree after winged leaves and orchards and caravans, so this was an excellent addition :)
Favorite track: Raven Son (ver 2).

Pica Pica An absolutely astounding collection of melancholia. Comfort, resonance, and understanding is to be found in these tracks. A sublime sequence of melodies and meditations. Favorite track: Hours Are Counted Most.

Still Clouds at Noon
by The Reds, Pinks & Purples

supported by 10 fans who also own “A Pillar of Clouds”

For a Bandcamp-only digital album, this one has ascended to the top of my RPP favorites. These songs have a memorable strangeness and discord. Raw, literary. Walk Through Any Wall is a haunting masterpiece, captures something about contemporary consciousness. Justin Stone
