| This really nails it for me on a number of levels. Firstly, the shoegaze elements bring a depth of texture. But when it comes to heavy music, I also really value rhythmic complexity. I was thinking how this album reminds me of Lantlos - Melting Sun, particularly in the vocal department. I like that album but find that the simplistic rhythm section puts a cap on how I can gush about it. This album, by contrast, keeps me on my toes, rhythmically. That's partly due to a djent element here but the accompanying guitar tone is more rooted in shoegaze fuzz than in... whatever obnoxious tone djent is typically associated with. So yes, the rhythms are choppy. Yet unlike Car Bomb, the songs retain a sense of cohesion, and the rhythms have a sense of feel and groove rather than mathematically generated randomness. To top it off, the vocals bring a melodic release that makes the abrasive nature of the music less fatiguing. The vocals are also perfectly placed in the mix and avoid being too washed out - something I can struggle with in some shoegaze. Great stuff. |

Carefully executed prog/psychedelia that
thematically and melodically draws from middle
eastern culture and spiritually. The auditory
equivalents of desert sand and temple incense
float through the listener's senses as jolty
prog riffs and loose, almost jazzy drumming
take one on a trip to transcendence. |

| Well worth a listen for anyone that still hopes for good post hardcore in 2019. Excellent harsh vocals that channel Chino from Deftones, but with enough song-writing sense to not over-rely on them. Good cleans with interesting song structures and sci-fi themed lyricism make this an under-the-radar gem from this year. Their two singles, Android Anaesthetist and Luma Non Luma are good places to start. |
