100 copies limited edition "A Pale Shelter is the kind of record that stops you dead in your tracks without actually really doing very much to create a sonic blockade. It ebbs and flows, glides and meanders through constant refrains, slowly pulling you deeper into thickly textured, minimal waves of ambient, chimes twinkling somewhere in a distant background, echoes of melody creating centerpieces to the arrangements. It's a classic example of what makes Past Inside the Present's output so mesmerizing and beguiling. It's in the quietest, most serene moments that we feel the greatest power in the music. At times, it's the aural equivalent of watching the shadows of a fire dance on stone walls. Elsewhere, it's more like gazing out over endless beauty. Ultimately, this is exactly why they say less is more." - Juno Records (UK)
