Released on December 5, 2017 as an infinitely looping minisite and limited edition cassette.

"The latest installment in an ongoing mix series, Absent Friends Vol. 2 presents Minor Science’s take on ambient: a hyper-dense, micro-edited collage form incorporating music, sound and speech. Progressing by a series of lulls and wild crescendos, its structure mimics the volatile behaviours of weather systems; over time, an oblique but powerful emotional narrative emerges."

“We may be stranded in the rain, sometimes…”
