"This album represents the beauty of everyday life. A celebration of the little things. The story behind this album is one of a man going about his daily life who happens to stop by a local thrift store and experiences a transcendental journey in return.......Sometimes in the most unexpected places we find the true essence of life, that pure sweet bliss that is living... Sometimes we are too caught up in other things and ignore what is in front of us..., but all of life holds beauty if we use our Minds Eye.... stay open, stay aware, and be one with your senses."

Timeless classic, I've discovered this album in 2019 and I still think it's one of the best albums ever. Great for long train rides and smoking weed at 3am akizona

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. daymens

Imagine you are the guy on that cover. It’s been a cool day, but now the sun sets as you cross a large river. The sun makes the temperature unexpectedly hot and stuffy, and the light bounces off and is magnified by the large river beneath you. Everything is yellow as it blinds your eyes.
This album is the perfect soundtrack for this scene. At times, it is stuffy, slow, and uncomfortable, maybe. But it is still beautiful. A real kind of beauty; imperfect, but overwhelming and encompassing. 10/10 daymens

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. daymens
