I think I understand what you mean about music being a way back from despair too; after I dropped out of medical school when my best friend died, I was asked to try and retrieve her music and photos which meant figuring out how to fix a fried external hard drive of hers, and a broken ipod too.
The music I recovered was one of the few things that helped me get through a pretty dark time.
beautiful stuff, vocals are great and remind me a bit of young the giant's vocals, but over a totally different style of music. really enjoyed the listen!
