The exotic, ambient, slo-mo drive that Michigan's Auburn Lull embark on with this new Zealrecords release is a journey along a lost highway that is seemingly free of bumps, potholes, and roadkill. This records plays nicely as a post-Seefeel soundscape. Both songs surge from miasmic swells of sample, loop guitars, and vocals into peaks of slow-cresting sonic euphoria. "North Territorial" could almost be the soundtrack for a future David Lynch production, a soft-focused lulling hum of a record that cruises along without incident while, at the same time, hinting at unseen alien menace. Elegantly produced and sampled by Andrew Prinz, here is music with the power to invade your dreams.

The Winter '02 edtion of "Little Darla Has a Treat For You" has an exclusive Auburn Lull track on it, and their only album, '98's "Alone I Admire," originally released on Burnt Hair Records, will be reissued and available once again on Darla early in 2002. A new record, produced by Andrew Prinz of Mahogany will follow as well.
