I've been out of my drone phase for a fair while now, but this was an incredibly good fix for the remaining itch. A pretty textbook example of drone with a monolithic approach to sound, with little in the way of melody, acoustic sounds or even recognisable instrument tones. Here we just have drones that get crushingly beautiful (1), then get quite noisy (2), breathe to vast spaces (4), then go in the suffocating underground (5). The album is very well constructed, with enough room for pauses and enough variety without disrupting its continuity. It's perhaps not the most stunning drone I have heard, but it is pretty flawlessly executed. Also the art/title is cool. 4.2
