to nowhere' is the 3rd full-length album from undead labs sound designer/composer kevin patzelt's dreissk project. the album features patzelt's now recognizable post-apocalyptic slant on ambient, post-rock and industrial motifs. not as foreboding as its predecessors 'edge_horizon' and 'the finding', 'to nowhere's' thematic core is that of a journey. but to where? this ideal is what dreissk has always left up to the listener. to nowhere is a celebration of the album as a format by eschewing sporadic changes that are often present in post-industrial music which gives each track time to stretch and breathe into full-on explorations of movement, tension, and ephemeral moments of optimism. the highlight of to nowhere is the trilateral “a long road / of approaching light / near the shore” being a journey unto itself. with "near the shore" possibly being the most widescreen ambient piece in dreissk's catalog.
