Post-rock still can be one of my least favorite genres because of how utterly boring it can sound. As I have grown older, however, the appeal of post-rock has become more apparent with the subtle buildups to such grand instrumental layouts being top of the list of why I like post-rock now. On this third record from the Swedish duo, we see a continuation of their ethereal and long-winding post-rock-laced space ambient drones that teleport you to another universe. The lush vocal contrasts as well really create an even more angelic experience; like being taken by a superior alien race to serene planets of beautiful landscapes. Although the album can be campy at times, it still has such an infectious quality to it that really keeps me coming back.
