Slim Westerns by A Small Good Thing
First released in 1994, Slim Westerns took the genre of ambient and applied it to the big western landscape. Inspired by an imaginary idea of America as found in films and fiction, from Wiseblood to Blood Simple, Flannery O'Connor to Cormac McCarthy.
A long lost ambient clasic.
