Harmonizing the warmth of acoustic instruments and folk elements with electronic textures and field recordings, [.que] creates a wonderful album full of emotional melodies and delicate rhythms.The skillful sound production of Wonderland by [.que] is completed with the careful mastering done by George Mastrokostas (aka Absent Without Leave), giving a warm natural sound to this masterpiece.Wonderland has a wide sound palette including gorgeous twinkly folktronica, joyful dream-pop and elegant post-rock and it’s a must-have album for fans of artists such as The Album Leaf, Message To Bears, Miaou and Epic45.
