Though nine separate tracks are presented (split between vocal and instrumental pieces), the album plays like a suite of connecting parts, from the slow blossom of the placid, guitar-laden overture “The Proper Dream Always Projects The Phantom” to the peaceful resolution wrought by the set-ending “Tule Rush / Tule Mind.” A quietly uplifting spirit animates the dirge “I Am Left Buried Where I’ve Been,” which merges the naturalism of Weathers’ earnest vocal delivery and dramatic guitar flourishes with the shimmer of Reich-styled marimba and keyboard pulsations. As affecting is the supplicating vocal meditation “The Light Pulse Earth Grid is a Channel,” where Weathers emotes expressively alongside a slow-motion blaze of guitars, accordions, and synthesizers, and the gentle, hymn-like “Astral Swords (Nine – A Future).” Textura
