Lush orchestrations tuned to the static between worlds. - Perfect Wave
Thursday Fernworthy's music beckons souls lightward from shadowy thickets. - Park Church Co-Op
Classically trained in viola with an interest in loop-based improvisational music…tracks are densely layered lo-fidelity psychedelic minimalism done as only we of the starving Brooklyn set can do. That is, properly beautiful… the handmade xerox art is 'legit as fuck' as you might say, and the liner notes are sweetly touched to boot.
Cannot possibly recommend this highly enough, both as up-to-the-minute proof that people around north Brooklyn are still doing interesting things lo these many years and as simply excellent work by some of the most creative and interesting artists I've had the privilege to meet.
