""Indigo" is an ethereal experience. Even better than "Nocturne" from 2012. 11 powerful songs perfectly arranged with great sound quality. My favorite tracks are "Letting Go" and "Through Windows"."  Reply

"Yep, I don't see anything this year beating this album. Beforehand it was Pallbearer's Heartless as my AOTY. This beats that by a margin, the nostalgia is real. I'm finally listening to fantastic stoner rock again, thank you Elder!"  Reply
