Only the Youngest Grave is a record that is bound to reveal more of its contents for whomever listens to the material as time passes. Taking into account the studio album's wide variety of stylistic influences and its relatively lengthier second half that exhibits the elegance of a contemplative moon, Australian native Michael Snoxall (aka OvDeath) gave birth to an LP that will challenge the mind of a consumer; casual-minded or otherwise. Lost Salt Blood Purges' second full-length release may take months and months to understand, but when all is done and over with, you'll come to appreciate Only the Youngest Grave's razor-sharp, venturesome character - to the point where future offerings by Snox are the only things that could quite possibly run through your head. Abridged version: it's an overall gripping effort with a lot going on.

Ambition is always something to respect and hold dear when it comes to music. Without it, it wouldn't have the ability to progress as it does today. Yet, too much ambition can cause records to be crushed under their own weight. Ambition overload, pretty much. Good artists know that a steady diet of ambition is better than an overhaul of it, and for how young this project is, it is remarkable that that notion is understood so well. A mixture of noise, ambient, drone, neofolk, post-rock, ritual ambient, and even sprinkles of jazz seems like it'd be a lot to take in, especially over the course of one hour and forty minutes. Yet, the record is never overtaken by its own desire to experiment, and hits close to home just as much as it alienates. Sometimes the compositions meander about within themselves for longer than is needed, but overall the album doesn't suffer from trying to do too much or from being all that long-winded. As such, the album connects with the listener, comforting them in the first half, disturbing and alienating them in the second, and ultimately making them feel in touch with the sounds, both inviting and threatening all the same.

Really hope this gets a lot of exposure. Super good experimental drone/folk/ambient. Very long but that's not a complaint from me
