Part hypnotic Techno, part Trip Hop, and part Ambient/IDM, Colin provides the vocals for the majority of the album. He is not alone however. Spoken word performances for the record’s most introspective tracks are done by; his partner author and spoken word artist R.A. Desilets. Also appearing are Florida-based Christy Hannon (of GR^VE) and long-time SLIGHTER collaborator Malakiy (from “Hells Gates” heard on Showtime’s House Of Lies) under his new moniker bodegaBLVCK.
