"Unfinished Prayer" by Gargle features a lyrically depicted soundscape backed by French string musicians the band is acquainted with.
The tracks were developed on the shared theme of "prayers," a universal theme that various artists had approached throughout the ages. For this EP, Gargle responded to this keyword that is evident in recent Hello1103 works.
