You can hear parts of Sufjan Steven’s gentle vocals, the sublime electronica quality of Air – and above all you can hear the massive influence Bon Iver has on this artist.
The entire record lends qualities of pioneering electronic acts, and melds folk with electronica as each song is a satisfying natural progression.
It’s an album of dreams, desolate landscapes and lonely nights lost out in the cold, as hope and optimism find a way to be entwined in an almost monastic sound.
Beautiful music flows easily through Asgier’s veins and it provokes thought, while it relaxes the mind.
