Songs of a Lost World

A heavy, velvet darkness descends on these expansive, slow-building compositions, which trade the nervous energy of the past for a weathered, stately grace. The music stretches out into massive, cathedral-like spaces where monolithic synthesizers and shimmering guitars are allowed to breathe for minutes before a single vocal line enters. It is a grand, mournful statement that confronts mortality with a clear, intimate vocal presence floating over a deep, cold lake of cavernous reverb.
