This is a collaborative album released by American guitarists Duffy x Uhlmann, who have played together as backing band members of Perfume Genius and Hand Habits, on the Chicago indie label Orindal Record in September 2023. Contains 9 songs from ambient folk to ambient jazz improvised by two guitars. DL code included. The LP is available in black and marble versions. Below is an explanation by Rosie Stockton.

Their constant motif is a constant return, knowing that if one wanders off, the other will follow or be called home. It's a steady, committed pulse. Here, fluidity prevails over order, each note passing by like an initial carved into the bark of a tree.

I was making music to soothe myself. I would play synth loops as I walked around my apartment, forming my own daily soundtrack. ” Mia Gargaret documents Gia Margaret's self-healing. The album's opener, apathy, includes excerpts from vocal therapy exercises she did. Body samples lectures by British philosopher Alan Watts. (The use of this sample was personally granted by Mark Watts, the late lecturer's son, in exchange for the use of "body" in a documentary film about his father). Other tracks feature Gia's daily field recordings, including footsteps, church bells, a crackling bonfire, and lake waves. "I wanted to capture the feeling of having a really magical time in my life, even though I wanted to forget it completely. This process helped me understand something about myself. "Mia...
