Skullcrusher returns with a haunting, shape-shifting body of work that drifts between vaporous folk and crystalline electronics. Written after leaving Los Angeles for the quiet isolation of New York's Hudson Valley, Helen Ballentine captures the ache of grief, change, and memory through sound that blurs the line between human and machine.
