This one is chilly, you need to put on a thick coat and sup some Horlicks, don't let the frost take you

All of their albums have a way of pulling me in with the atmosphere. Atmosphere here is just dull to me. :[

Album Rating: 5.0

no this is great...Enne is far too long, and some sections could be shortened, but love the atmosphere

I just find it way better on their prior stuff.

This band is such a vibe across the whole discog, bummed you weren’t able to connect with this one

I'll leave it alone for a while and come back to it. The atmosphere just feels so sterile compared to the others imo. :[

Tbh i thought the production sucked the first times i listened to this, partly ruining the atmosphere. That disappeared for some reason, now i'm considering a 5, pretty much flawless to me

Album Rating: 4.0

It's an album that gives you time to think.

Album Rating: 3.5

yeah, hawks, this is worse than their previous output by quite a bit



'sterile' is probably the right descriptor for it

"Wayhome is Kauan's most ambitious production to date. It’s fully produced in 96Khz, contains a 22-piece choir and an endless number of synth and fx layers, and utilizes 1,000 tracks at its peak, maxing out Logic Pro's multitrack limit. Because of this, the production faced many curious issues from the software’s stability side, numerous technical bugs, and other issues."



Well so much for me hailing this band's less-is-more approach. New song isn't even that good.

Pushing a software product to its limit in the name of creativity seems like an odd envelope to push lol

yes



band is getting worse somehow

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

yeah it gives me pretentious wintersun vibes



hate to compare but my album had maybe 50 tracks at its peak and if i may so, it sounds gigantic. using 1000 tracks is ridiculous, inefficient as well as redundant. i thought 50 stems was a lot, let alone 20 times that.



i kinda go with a rule of 2.5 when composing - at any given time a listener will be able to fully focus on 2 elements and half focus on one other. anything else is frankly lost. i think everyone does this without realizing and you have to compose music around this idea and at any given time make those 2.5 elements do the heavy lifting. you can add more dimension to this with additionall tracks but they have to compliment one of the other elements and kind of 'merge' with it. hard to explain, but that rule has always done me well.



i'm still excited for the new album but i'm raising my eyebrows at the promotional bs. to be fair, band have had a history of this. they boasted about 'pirut' being the only album ever to be delayed by a comet (it wasn't.).

I like what you said Noctus and I’ve begun to notice that about myself also. Sometimes so much is going on I hone in on just a few and the other is lost unless I really try to latch onto it

Ive gotta revist this

i've learned over time that it's what we subconsciously do - anything past 2.5 elements has diminishing returns so a great song is all about making those elements shine as best as possible. it's sserved me well!

Yesyesyes, finally! Will see them live in Finland in november.
