I was unfamiliar with these two artists, but digitalsakura hails from Hamburg Germany and has a ton of releases on Bandcamp. They state that "the sprouts of digitalsakura were planted on January 29, 2019, since then this beautiful tree, a symbol of life and death, transience and frailty of being, blooms and envelops the whole world with petals of experimental art." Thlaaflaa has only a few releases listed, and has a previous collaboration with digitalsakura, but otherwise I couldn't find much about this act. All we know is that it is on Inner Demons, so it will be interesting. Let's get into it.

Erase Yourself is a sparse analog atmospheric track. It flows smoothly and has a nice, ominous atmosphere that would be quite at home in a dystopian sci-fi film. Really well done.

Codebreaker blends the ethereal synth lines with a glitchy, broken beat that provides an interesting juxtaposition between the two styles. Think Autechre meets the Orb with some crackling noise thrown in for good measure.

Overall, this is a nice collaboration and the result is truly lovely. Very well done and well worth checking out if you need to take a break from the harsh noise wall that Inner Demons is known for.
