Arthur's departure is noticeable, as everyone expected, but rest assured, that's not a bad
thing! Marcus' harsh vocals are stronger (eventhough his bass playing normally isn't as busy
as Arthur's), and fit perfectly with the darker sound they've gone with on this album. Don't
expect another Metazoa or Dwellings, Earth Diver is a different beast. Less folk elements
and a more agressive sound overall, with a stronger performance than before from all
members, more dissonance... but still unmistakably Cormorant. Everything you loved about
them is still present here, but they're not afraid to experiment (and I'm glad they're not),
and once again they've delivered the goods! |

| Plini Sunhead |
| This EP shows Plini treading new grounds while reinforcing his core sound. Albeit short, it's Plini's most adventurous and jazzier effort to date, and tracks like Kind or Flneur are easily among his best work so far. |
| Plini Impulse Voices |
| This is Plini at his best. He's doing whatever he wants without any regards to conventional structure, style or what people expect of him, and he (and the band) is enjoying every second of it. It still sounds recognizably like Plini, but at the same time it's completely different in sound and feel from his previous works. He's playing with dynamics like never before, and he's not afraid to take a back seat to let the song develop and leave space for other instruments to shine (unthinkable in a guitar album!). He wanted to play a risky move and try out new things, and itrworks so well. |
