Text excerpt from the label:

"The album’s name comes from actual correspondence between Emerson and Whitman - Ralph praises Walt’s manuscript, he can’t believe how good it is, the 1800s equivalent of a fire emoji. The epistolary pull quote serves as cheeky acknowledgment of the mutual admiration of this project’s partnership. This is the duo’s first official work together, though they’ve both played in ensembles and toured together previously (up to you to decide who’s the Emerson and who’s the Whitman here). But it’s also a perfectly appropriate description of the serenity at the core of these sounds, a warm blade of sun laid across your cheek. And pulling something from these sages of old also draws in the haunted, crumbling charm of the historic river valley where the two both now live and record, a place of snaking waterways, 200–year-old industrial ruins, centuries of ghosts.

It is slow, intentional work profoundly acted on by seasonality. The two got together casually at Thayer’s creekfront studio over the course of 18 months, beginning each hang with a spontaneous keyboard gesture. They would construct hypnotic loops, transforming the audio through various novel means, like Thayer’s modular rig, his tape echo, or most notably his not-quite-perfectly-operable PrimeTime 93, a rack mount digital delay from 1978 with an uncanny rhythmic abilities. Over top the two traded off sprinkling overdubs - synthesizers, slide guitar, the very occasional percussion part..."
