This album made me fall asleep in the best way possible.
I have very few words to describe it, but this album has created some of the most unique and powerful feelings I have ever felt in my life. A crazy thing to say, but it's absolutely true.
Godspeed, your talent is beyond my understanding.
I'd just like to note that LYSFLATH is my absolute favourite album of all time, and "Sleep" is not only my favourite song, but personally the greatest song of all time.

Although it’s a bit repetitive at times, it was still a very well made album. Apostate and Avatar are VERY good.
Even though it held a weaker response for me compared to The Glowing Man, it definitely created a thick atmosphere. I’d be lying if I said that I felt comfortable for most of this album.
I wouldn’t be surprised if my ... read more
