The bio that we got from Drag City regarding this record says it best, "O’Rourke’s process — sourcing resonant sounds to be enmeshed together into a music that supersedes their resident parts — makes a fitting soundtrack for Kyle Armstrong’s “prairie gothic” tale of down-on-the-farm horror way up north in Canada. His minimalist score inhabits the wide open, big sky landscape, flowing into suddenly-deep (and opaque) emotional waters, then panning out to a chilly omniscient remove. RIYL: Ambient, new age, mod comp" O'Rourke has done a lot of work with Jeff Tweedy, among others, fwiw.
