Hello. Thanks for adding me in destroyalldreamers. Your project is an amazing one too, I love almost all the songs you put in here, especially "Vampyr", reminds me the Dreyer film and his feeling of cold and despair.
I hope you came to Barcelona or Catalonia soon! :)

Well, I just went on a ridiculous week-long road trip all over the north-east culminating in a mind-blowing performance by Sigur Ros in NYC. I totally mastered the subway system, too.
