There’s a playful, cozy tone to this release that I dig so much. This split really feels like two gnomes playing in the same tavern together, using playful banter and similar sounds to compliment each other’s brand of comfy synth. Second split from is on the comfier side of things. Song titles inspire visions of bioluminescent glowing seas, and long, hopeless journeys under the guidance of stars. WOSC’s three tracks are soothing depressive ambient dungeon synth with smoother Lo-Fi production. Gloomy minimalism hailing castle walls and the ghosts trapped within them.
