Moody, instrumental, post-rock. Full of somber, slow-building-epics that climax like the world is coming down. Drawn comparisons to M83 and Godspeed You Black Emperor!. With no vocals, this is immensely layered atmospheric music. The thrown in electronics are reminiscent of Kid A/OK Computer. The synth plays a large part, transforming within the songs—many times into a dark, brooding buzz. Slow-building nature of songs results in long songs (all but one over 4 min.) FCC clean. Picks: 2,3,6
1. Starts with striking of match. Buzzy synth runs in background. Feels like you’re underwater.
2. ***8:28. Taps full emotional range. Some great, morbid guitar picking in the middle which build to frantic climax.
3. ***Great guitar interplay in this song (check around 2:50). Floats you up into sky before crashing you down.
4. Tense song. Beginning feels like swarm of locusts flying at you. Layers and split speakers keep you disoriented. Just let it wash over.
5. Deep bass, almost Linkin Park beat. Pick up at 2:40 reflects its “Nothing Can Stop Me” title. Cool ‘wanana’ flute-sounding background.
6. ***Metal guitar strums. Marching Drum beat and flute-thing make it sound very regal. Great interplay between synth, guitars, and drums.
7. 1:24. Short. Piano accents. Deep synth sounds like farting.
8. 7:58. More of same, but a little quirkier. Lots of thrown in sounds. If rest of the album is flying around in space. This cut is about being abducted by aliens.
