Hopi Torvald/Single Mothers Split



Here's collaboration #2! This time around, it's a joint effort between myself and my friend Woodruff, aka Single Mothers. He gave me a haunting whispery guitar and vocal track which i HT'd into a bleary racket (track 1) and i sent him a dark synth dirge which he turned into something really beautifully sinister indeed (track 2). i think the songs make for a neat little couplet.
