Years in the making, the first full length album by Piercing follows releases on notable labels such as No Rent and Detachment Programs.

Output by this project has been somewhat limited and selective due to it's time consuming nature and nitpicky process of preparing loops derived from specific source sounds, which are then painstakingly shaped into melancholy and melodic tape degraded noise compositions that strive to put the listener in a palpably surreal or transcendent atmosphere. All of these aspects are present in "Kites of Nephthys" and some of the projects self-proclaimed "best tape loops" were set aside waiting to be used on this very album.

Hazy liquified field recordings and rhythmic electroacoustic junk loops, paired with slowburning mixer feedback and blown out crunch that builds up only to fade away...these are the kinds of sludgy gurgling sounds Piercing uses here in order to evoke imagery of Egyptian burial processions when women would gracefully slather their loved one's corpses in exotic oils before permanently laying them to rest.
