Stare into the abyss and the abyss stares back. This album is a loss of innocence, a primeval secret no-one shares. Valetudo feels like reaching the surface after travelling through an unbreachable atmosphere, to see fringes of things you deny, and Ganymede is sinking to the depths and realizing those fears, isolated from anything that would comfort you. Europie's air is a bitter resurfacing, thrust back into that world that conspired to cause so much harm. Truly phenomenal work. Thank you.
