Tholen’s first album in four years finds him pondering marriage, being an artist, and the mysteries of God’s divine will.

The Low Drone of Earth may be Tholen’s darkest album to date, but it’s also one of his most successful and well-realized.

The album continues Tholen’s streak as a fine purveyor of weird, fascinating music from the fringes of Christendom.

Tholen’s latest is another fine example of his “Christ-centered chipwave.”

What if Anamanaguchi, Susumu Hirasawa, Ronnie Martin, and Sufjan Stevens got together and made a chiptune gospel album?
