Diving deeper into this style the 2019 album 'Crystal Ships Infinite Arrivals' saw two long songs fill the album with hypnotic Can-like progressions and Tangerine Dream washes, along with found sound, musique concrète and lush mood pieces. These recordings were culled from edited jams and shorter pieces. A double album called 'Open City' came out in 2023, melding Tangerine Dream with The Stooges. Another album, 'Lonely Surfer' remains in the can awaiting final mixes. It harkens back to their first album's with an almost country styling and a touch of the recent electronic experimentation.
