"(T)he music of label boss Matt Sullivan, who works as Red Boiling Springs, is quite a relief. This is the first time I hear his music, and apparently Red Boiling Springs is a noise project but in this particular case the ambient side is played out more. He writes about this: "rediscovered these recordings on an old busted-up computer early last year. They were made sporadically from 2009 to 2014 in Anchorage, AK, and Portland, OR, stitched together out of field recordings, guitars, and electric piano." None of the instruments can be easily heard as such I must say, as all of this is effectively transformed on that old busted-up computer beyond recognition and it works very well. There is a gritty edge to the music, a bit of dirt at the corners, which is something most welcome when it comes to ambient and drone music; for me at least. The best is kept to the last, also on this release where the final piece, 'Drift', worked like soft bliss to these tortured ears. If the rest of his work is like this, I'd surely like to hear a bit more of it."
