Sounds good. How does it compare to previous couple of albums? I
mean they're pretty droney (in a good way) but I can't say I heard
much 'environmental sound' (at least I don't think I did). Do you
mean there's like field recordings in there? I always thought their
drone was made by guitar with heaps of effects rather than analog
synth but I'm probably wrong.
