Recorded on the island of Martha's Vineyard, MA USA, this album represents Preston's first efforts to create an album-long journey of uplifting soundscapes and downtempo grooves. From the warm opening chords of "Magnolia" to the glitch-infused melodies of "Paint Vibrant Colors," this album captures the imagination of listeners looking for a quiet respite.
