"This is the third release for Winnipeg’s Prairie Fire Tapes by drone guitarist (and Foxy D. contributor) Curran Faris. It’s
 implied by PFT that Faris is playing guitar at least a bit here, but 
it’s not a bad thing that the instrumentation rarely identifiable. 
“Early Mornings and Late Nights” is super blown-out, with a thick layer 
of feedback and low rumbling threatening to swallow up any recognizable 
notes (note that I say a layer, as opposed to layers –
 a crucial distinction). Occasionally, out of this miasma, a theme looms
 and then recedes – perhaps a heavily delayed note, or sustained synth 
drifting. “All That is Left” mesmerizingly loops minimal filter sweeps. 
“Glissed” is built on layers of drifting guitar feedback. The two epic 
B-side drones, “Accept This” and “Drop-off,” are more guitarish, the 
former blissfully looped and layered, the latter returning to a low 
drone for a sustained, satisfying, and long conclusion. Unhurried, full,
 and using the tape medium expertly – this is excellent work."
