Ulaan Passerine is the indie rock project of songwriter Elias Thorne, based in Brooklyn, NY. They emerged in the early 2010s, known for intricate guitar work and introspective lyrics. "The Great Unwinding" arrived as Thorne was exploring more atmospheric textures, moving away from the sparser arrangements of earlier work and signaling a shift in the band's sound before their hiatus.
