The opening song, title track “Wintersea,” is something I’ve had for years and would play occasionally on acoustic guitar. I thought about trying to record it with electric guitar years ago, and I think I did a demo of it, but the acoustic nature of it now I think really paints a picture of departing from a shoreline on a boat. Imagine sailing west without an idea of when you’ll touch land again. It is lonely, foreboding. A grim and stark reminder of that possible side of individuality.

The absolutely positive impact that this album has had on my life can't be described with words. Whenever I listen to it, it teaches me something new. My favorite track is "Scaling Mount Improbable." Dundar The Barbarian
This album is simultaneously elegant and humble. The track "A weather front was stalled out in the Pacific--like a lonely person, lost in thought, oblivious of time" takes me on a journey. Dundar The Barbarian
Excellent, atmospheric, instrumental prog/post-metal to lose yourself into. The combinations of stuttering guitar shreddage with the soaring walls of sound over the top are beautiful. Dundar The Barbarian
Combining jazz-infused prog, ‘70s heavy metal and stoner doom, thrash metal, and grunge, the Puerto Rican legion’s debut is nothing short of a behemoth. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 7, 2018
