This 2005 collaboration finds Gira, working here as Angels of Light, paired with Akron/Family for a collection of haunting, harmonized folk rock.
- The album was recorded during a residency at the Godspeed You! Black Emperor-affiliated Hotel2Tango in Montreal.
- The release features members of Akron/Family on multiple tracks, contributing vocals and instrumentation.
- This record sits between Angels of Light's *The Milk of Dreams* and Gira's next solo album, *Sound of Perseverance*.
Angels of Light was the primary recording alias of Michael Gira, the founder of the experimental rock group Swans. Gira’s work as Angels of Light saw him moving towards a more stripped-down, often acoustic, folk-inflected sound.
