about

"Four of the 12 pieces on Young Person's Guide originally appeared on the download-only album Fervency (the "young person's guide" title of this release seems like a self-conscious joke about our instant-archive culture, and may also be a King Crimson reference), and they're here inserted into a massive, two-hour, 12-song cycle of drones and textures. The eight extra tracks are from the same sessions that produced Fervency, and they are far from padding. I think this actually works better than that album precisely because of its much longer running time, and the shorter, more active pieces on the entirely new second disc help balance the longest, stillest tracks. There is a certain element to this supremely patient music that requires immersion for the listener to really draw maximum satisfaction from it, and positioning these four familiar tracks as a much more expansive work accomplishes that." - Joe Tangari, Pitchfork

"Dunn's music seems even more closely aligned with Stars Of The Lid, acheving a similarly time-elongating effect with his deeply immersive treatments of guitar, strings and brass." - Boomkat

"...accomplished technically, and layered with romantic and impressionistic stylings that never have to sacrifice subtlety for emotional reach." - Watering the Animals

I can get lost in the ambience of the later stages. It feels like I'm floating, letting the noises just occur in my head. I genuinely listen to K1 on a regular basis. Absolutely recommend. seeeetfanacc

we're all beside a wooded creek, laying on this silken mossy chord, listening as leaves tumble down in succession. the pond nearby catches each leaf and we sync our thoughts using the chain of ripples in the water. thanks a lot for this one. recommended for relaxation or when it just gets to be too much out there Ews Nsj
