Zener_58 by Opt Out & Diurnal Burdens

OPT OUT & DIURNAL BURDENS present Anesi

"Following on from their debut collaborative work False Depictions, released in 2024 on Kringloop Kassettes, the duo offer up further indeterminate atmospheres and unplaceable melancholy. Channelling microtonality, new-wave sci-fi and noclip reality phasing, Anesi embodies a familiar unease, displaced into untraversed zones." – DB
