The Wandering Lake :: In Passage

The Wandering Lake :: In Passage

In short, The Wandering Lake is like a male, slightly cleaner Grouper. Or a washed-out Jeff Buckley. Or a fervent disciple of Panda Bear's Young Prayer. One could call it sacred music.

This is an album to fall asleep to - not at night, but in the afternoon. It's nap music; which is not to say boring music, because it's not. The sound falls in the small space between melodic clarity and drifting, and in many ways is perfectly described by both the band's name and the album title. The music is "in passage" - it's traveling with a vague purpose, but a purpose none the less.

Check out the mesmerizing and beautiful "People" below, and head over to Bandcamp to download the full-length album (pay what you want).
