The is the second full-length release by Sweden's Andreas Tilliander as Mokira for the Type label. It's hard to believe that five years have passed since the release of Album , Tilliander's first outing on the Type label.

"Belonging to a world that is at once pre-millenial and post-apocalyptic, Wooden Veil's music is the drumbeat of an ancient yet technological past channeled through the sounds of a post-human race.
