Performed on balalaika, tambourine, and Dirtywave M8. Happy to answer more details in comments, but I'm right up on deadline. Weeeeee!

The balalaika has a great organic texture to it. I like the ambient noises as well. I feel like I'm outside in a windy field listening to this being played live.
This is really fun. Very evocative. Love the balalaika.
Atmospheric!
You don't hear enough balalaika these days.
Thank you! The balalaika actually belongs to my wife, who studied Russian in college. She only ever learned to play "Moon River" on it before she lost interest, though

Thank you! The wind patch was actually created by MrdrCat
I'd like to think that maybe they got lost on purpose?
Fighting in a war sucks, so probably?
I feel empowered, this is good stuff.

Thank you! Maybe some other non-guitar stringed instrument might pop up in one of your tracks too?
Maybe, the uke hasn't been in a song in a while, and I think we still have a violin somewhere.
