Like much of Von Till’s solo work, the track is rooted in softer aesthetics and electronic instrumentation rather than the atmospheric sludge metal of NEUROSIS. Here, he explores ambient soundscapes, giving emphasis to the words and poeticism of his lyrics. The spiritual tug and introspection of his prior solo outings remains intact.

 

Harvestman marks Von Till’s first published book and acts as a thematic companion piece to the album. The book collects words from throughout his 20-plus year solo career and its namesake comes from his other solo project, Harvestman, which explores psychedelia and drone music.

 

No Wilderness Deep Enough was intended to be much like the latter, an instrumental ambient piece. However, Von Till’s friend and engineer Randall Dunn encouraged him to sing over the spacious musical accompaniment and make it his next solo album. Initial tracking was done with Dunn and cellist Brent Arnold and french horn player Aaron Korn. Von Till completed work on the album, finalizing the mixes with vocals, at Flora Recording and Playback in Portland, Oregon.
