It is a sound born in the deepest reaches of the human
heart and mind; the dark little space in the back of our heads where grief,
loneliness, confusion, and unrequited desires are processed. It is the sound of
a sorrowful soul in the midst of healing itself. Their sound takes off from a
rather dark place, but will almost always progress into a brighter place before
finally ending. - Paul F. Agusta/The Jakarta Post
