Dictations from a Spectral Planet

by The Astronaut King

supported by

Jank Hambrams This album is full of delicious jams. It truly feels like I'm drifting through orbit as one of the final humans alive, witness to the collapse of our reign. The songs vary from contemplative ambient tracks to driven, distorted tunes and all of them contribute to the feel of the album.

I highly recommend this. Ian does good work. Favorite track: Dictations from a Spectral Planet.
