"Windy Weber, known for being half of the ambient drone duo Windy & Carl, has recorded a solo album. It is quite different from what you may be thinking -- it has none of the soothing characteristics you may be expecting & instead is full of heavy & brooding music. It's comprised of two tracks -- 'Sirens,' coming in at 24 minutes, is instrumental & is filled with the sound of guitars crying, rising & falling like waves crashing on the rocks. 'Sirens' is ominous and haunting. It is not music to sleep to, but instead could make you tense & anxious. The second track is 'Destroyed.' It is 32 minutes long, and comprised of 3 suites. The first being layers of vocals, woven together to make a chorus of breathing & breathlessness, layers to make you feel as if you may be drowning in the sea, whether that sea be the ocean, or the sea of life, the day to day world in which you must deal. The second suite becomes noisy, agitated, rumbling & distorted guitars, bass & feedback, and makes you sit on the edge of your seat wondering what is about to happen. The third suite takes you to the end of the album with its subsonic frequencies & strange unrecognizable sounds. This is not music for the faint of heart."
