Gradual and imposing instrumentals with sections drove into the ground before giving into finespun adjustments: yep, it's post-y alright. The moderately moderate jammy-hypno flow of heavy/soft/'om' synths can make for some elegant background metal, but the impeccable detail and clarity that's provided for each+every instrument rewards closer listens. Impatients can also take comfort in each of these songs being shorter than the last - so if the 14:43 opener feels like a trek, know that it's followed by a 10:56, along with eventually reduced rigidity and an exotic-tinged second half. Finale tosses ya a 5:48 and some bonus vox for a job well done.
