Clawhammer banjo fed through loops and delay, winding up like krautrock before dissolving into synth-drift—de Groot and Ruth spent a year supposedly making one thing and ended up making something neither quite planned. The banjo stays anchored at the center while everything else floats, which is the opposite of most ambient-adjacent work. Nashville studio session turned collaboration, premiered live to make the deadline real. This is what happens when genre credentials mean nothing and the tape keeps running.
