    Holtkamp finds a beatific atmosphere somewhere between the first BEAST recordings and his earlier work.

    Supremely joyous and creative, Ens feels like the beginning of a new chapter for Holtkamp, and it's one of his most enjoyable works.

    Ens tables the queries, at least temporarily, for a strictly personal statement. However you approach its aesthetic beauty, that is a much less satisfying response.
