The Cult Debut.
Before the 14-year hiatus, there was "Letters to the Absent" released on May 27th, 2012 —an album that defined By Million Wires as masters of atmospheric, guitar-driven psychedelia.
Recorded with the original vocalist Anna Ostafil, whose gentle and intimate vocals reminisced dream-pop.
Blending ethereal melodies with post-rock structures, the debut made waves in the independent scene, earning praise for its emotional depth and spacious production.
The record was released on Bandcamp in both digital and limited CD formats, and recently uploaded to all major streaming platforms.
What the critics said:
"Skyscraping guitar psychedelia... music that's suggestive enough to mean that language is no barrier."
— The Sound Of Confusion (UK)
"A unique ability to combine ethereal melodies with a transparent, atmospheric guitar sound... reminiscent of Radiohead or Mazzy Star."
— MLWZ.pl (Artur Chachlowski)
"Hypnotic and full of tension... a hidden gem of the Polish alternative scene."
— Cantara Music
