Q

Fixed::Context is a studio album by the Virginian post-rock band Labradford. It was released in 2001 by Blast First and Kranky.

Critical reception

The Guardian wrote that the songs are "all instrumental and all based around an echoey guitar effect that sounds like Duane Eddy playing the theme to Twin Peaks." The Dallas Observer called the album "a patiently unfolding tapestry of forgotten memories and the subconscious pleasure of a mind set adrift."
