So many modern coming of age movies follow a sort of "nighttime odyssey" structure, in which the protagonist wanders all night through the city and stays up until morning, encountering life-changing experiences along the way (going to a party, a long drive, encountering a new love or new friend, etc.). Coming of Age was written with those kinds of scenes in mind, a fictional soundtrack for this kind of movie -- Instrumental songs laced with nostalgia, covering themes of loneliness, angst, and finding yourself.

Press

"...exemplifies Herbers’ place in the Ambient world: his music would be at home on chill-out playlists and coffee shop compilations, but there is also a sophistication - in themes, instrumentation, and sonics - that would see him equally at home with his more experimental contemporaries."

"Inspired by some very specific scenes in coming of age movies, the album is a chilled out journey through the night of city streets. I could sleep to this stuff. "

easily one of the best ambient albums i've heard in the past several years. soothing yet engaging. each song has a story to tell. looking forward to the next rainy day so i can light a couple candles, lay on the floor, and listen to it, soaking up the atmosphere.
