Special thanks to: Joe, Jordan, and Aaron for letting me record this in our house, and to Ryan Kalentkowski for playing these songs live with me through the first few years of this project. Additional thanks to Shane and Louie for taking these songs to new and exciting territory.
This record represents an era of experimentation and uncertainty during a very formative time for myself as a songwriter and for Reduction Plan as a project. However, it was never properly mastered or pressed to tape. I have found myself revisiting this record a lot, trying to tap into the spirit of this record and my process in making it. Coming up on three years of this project existing, I wanted to give it a proper mastering treatment so as to not let it disappear and be forgotten as the project moves forward.

Reduction Plan's music comes from within solitude's frigid embrace. Pulling from 80s goth, industrial, dream-pop, as well as cacophonous no-wave, Reduction Plan uses both noise and space to illustrate the power of silence. Synth swells, hypnotic guitars, pulsing drum machines, and haunting murmurs form the foundation of the project’s sound.
