104 releases ago, Ryan opened up what would become one of the most important projects in my life. Now 7 years later, he offers us a little more than one hour of his devastatingly beautiful and skulking material. Space dominates is a masterpiece of Shiftless' trademark movements of faint light in total darkness. He tells the stories of dying stars and travelling rays of light. Of harmony, loneliness and grace.
Maybe sometimes we worry about the future, but take an hour in the beginning month of winter and rejoice to find in Shiftless' music the hope he paints in the his dark, vast and heavy melodies.
