The album is a diverse and playful exploration of jazz, lounge, hip-hop and IDM electronica carefully molded, shaped and pressed into eleven tracks of signature Lusine ICL sound.

All the tracks work in this manner under Frost’s deft hands, wielding the synthetic against the recorded organic to reveal the dark cost of our destruction of the natural world.
