The album cover here could have been any frame of any videotape. But that’s what Desert Sand Feels Warm at Night is- a tribute to memories, perhaps ordinary at the time. Perhaps so ordinary that they were more of habits or motifs than anything. The sorts of things that shape you, and that you forget. Now only the shadow of these things remain, which Desert Sand does justice to, by making it the center of our consciousness, if only for an hour or two. Tancevat
The defining part of- and the most dealbreaking parts of slushwave is its vocals. Usually, slowed down vocals are more uncanny to me than anything, but Desert Sands, and this album in particular turn what is usually a turnoff into one of the most spectacular musical pieces ever.
This whole album feels like you’ve been transported into a place transcending all known nations or environments, language or culture. This album leads you to explore your mind, and all the memories you’ve forgotten. Tancevat

i think of dreamtone as music intended to be slept to. you slowly fall asleep as the first few tracks hypnotize you, making you comfortable. you'll wake up a few times throughout the night, having a completely surreal experience of each soundscape in your half-asleep state. once you wake up near the end of the album, you can finish the last couple tracks during your morning.
