*100 copies limited edition* This album is named after the ancient port city Thonis-Heracleion, which was only recently found in 1999 sunken beneath the Mediterranean Sea near Alexandria. The album was created through the process of attempting to retrieve something intangible that had been lost, and was inspired by the desire to reconnect with an alternative existence.

Special thanks to Sophia Zhang, Mauricio Pauly, Stefan Maier, Sabrina Schroeder, Arne Eigenfeldt, and Meredith Bates for all your guidance and support.
