I like the subtle way in which the tracks connect to the album cover, making this resting maiden the center point — calm in the midst of storm. (Just my interpretation maybe but the cover gives extra depth to the music... a softer undertone). The image reminds me of ‘Annunciation’ by Dante G. Rossetti used in ‘Adrenaline’ music video.
‘Smoke and Mirrors’ puts me at peace with big disappointments — a bittersweet musical potion.

Can you believe that in the decade that saw second-wave and atmospheric black metal take shape, the iciest album of the times would come from sweltering Arizona (by way of Iowa)? The album is Cold, it looks cold, and it is bloody cold indeed. AJ
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
So calming, feels like I took an evening shower with warm water and went straight to bed and went inside the blankets and rested my eyes.
Also bought the vinyl and got lot of freebies, thank you Lycia. I love you guys so much ❤️ fluorrite
