NORMIL HAWAIIANS - Return of the Ranters LP post-rock sounds during that bottomlessly specialGatefold sleeve. Includes booklet. Highly recommended.

But on the other hand, strange details and structures are packed in everywhere: strange violin loops, unidentified tones, and unrestrained improvisation.
