What do reviewers say about Metal Wave and Whispers in the Library?
Minimalist in the best sense. No stacking, no showboating. Just three notes doing exactly what they need to. Clean enough to wear anywhere, dry enough to never feel safe.Metal Wave
No opening notes means no citrus, no sparkle, no warning shot. You are dropped directly into the library, already mid-afternoon, already at peace. Some people find this disorienting.Whispers in the Library
