Self-described "doom ridden jazz music" from the German band. The darkest of noir. Their album Sunset Mission (another fave to paint rainy day scenes to.)

A big shout-out to Will Oldham for making me aware of the dark ambient music of Norwegian artist Helge Sten, who goes by the moniker Deathprod. The whole of "Treetop Drive" is three movements that clock in at over a half an hour. This is a truncated version. This became one of my favorite pieces to paint to last winter. I also nicked part of it for a short film I put together last Fall.
