For the most part this is quite simple, generic post-rock with less good tones than usual in the genre I would say (although they can get great in places). Why is it worth a check then? That solely comes from the excellent violin playing. It's not just that the violin adds a beautiful texture as an instrument, evocative of EEB; the violin compositions just seem a tier or two above everyone else's. Whenever the music strikes home, it is because of a violin melody - and in between those moments the listener is left to long for more violin-led goodness. 4 is a good example, starting with generic guitar work that doesn't sound too marking, but getting very pretty as soon as the violin comes in at min 4:30. Moments like the reprise at min 9 on the closing track are just superb. Right before it I thought the album was getting overlong, but it changed my mind right away and bumped it a point. 1 also has pretty violin. The intro to 2 was a good surprise as a nice rupture from the post-rock atmosphere with jollier rhythms and guitars before going back to the more generic material. So yeah worth a check for post-rock fans and inspiring in places, but not spectacular either. 3.6
