Port Royals' "Flares" is one of the best ambient/post-rock albums that I've listened to in quite some time. Organic keyboard tones, lush production, crunchy beats, and hypntoic guitars are all found throughout the album. The music is able to create vivid imagery with minimal instrumentation, at times only a keyboard and drum machine are used throughout an entire song. Perhaps the most important aspect about the music is that it's so easy to get lost in, after two minutes of the opening track "Jeka" I already find myself hypnotized. "Flares" may not be the most unique album out their but it's an excellent ambient/post-rock album.
