This is obviously a home-recorded demo, and it mainly consists of guitar, effects pedals, and lots of tape hiss. Opener "Constellations + Veins" is a nice, relaxing reverby guitar piece. "Seismic Lesions" follows, and it's slow and dirgey, with soft drums and more slow guitar. "Stolen Beams" starts with some simple soft guitar, adds more layers of guitar fuzz, then explodes into noise. "Tape 24" is almost 8 minutes of slow strumming, with something humming in the background. "Mt. Hope" is acoustic guitar with something else in the background that is almost inaudible over all the tape hiss.
I do like the way this guy plays guitar, and I think he definitely has some potential (especially with the first track). As it is, though, this is just some hissy home recorded demos and nothing more.
