Whole album is unforgettable. When he says "they don't sleep anymore on the beach" I'm just like ugh stop I'll sleep there for you if it'll stop you from being so sad

All of the field recordings in this album are brilliant. "Welcome to Barco AM/PM" in Storm, the preacher in Static, Coney Island in Sleep, the French children singing in Antennas to Heaven. GYBE know how to get the most out of a sample.

The piano in Welcome to Arco AM/PM Mini-Market is one of the most beautiful things ever

I don't like the AM/PM one since its message feels much too literal and obvious--I get it, you're anarchists who hate that this place is being mean to poor people. What's poetically mysterious about that?

I don't really think an album that's like 90% instrumental with a few samples has an specific meaning man
This is one of those cases where literally every interpretation is possible

Yea that's how I feel about this, it's up to the listeners own interpretation what the music means to them, to say it has a clear cut meaning is kind of an insult to the music

While there's certainly a sad feeling at the start of the movements I think the crescendos build up to a beautiful, peaceful and warm atmosphere, I listen to this when I want an album that makes me want to carry on with life
Not like their debut, which is awesome but I think we all agree it goes into a "sad" style

Has anyone seen these guys live? I honestly can't figure out how they could manage to bring the quality of this to a live concert

I've seen them two times. I'd say they're better on record. Partly because people can't shut up in the audience but for some also it doesn't reach the magical hights that are on here while performed live. They still put on a hell of show tho.

The songs don't feel as long when played live. You're too busy paying attention to everyone's involvement and learning how all these sounds are made on the record itself. Plus there's the movie on the projector screen to give the music a bit more context and weight.
But yeah, something about it all coming together right before your eyes instead of ears is life-changing. I wasn't even that phased by Asunder before seeing them last month, but watching them perform the album in its entirety gave me a new admiration for it on a technical and atmospheric level.
Also, I don't know if this has been posted before, but here's a video of Efrem being interviewed by a squeaky-voiced hand puppet

Sleep is probably one of the best tracks ever recorded.
