Comment: a gritty set of instrumental post-rock compositions from St Louis, Missouri, USA. Furthermore, epic, monumental guitar works (which include lots of changes in timbre texture and dynamics or providing lofy, dark-hued droning below the other layers) are sometimes mixed up with airy found sounds and the telling oscillations of hum to create a lush vision of rock music or on the other side constitue an interim compartment to bridge post-rock and ambient into a new path and bewitching ambience. Indeed, it is far away from being just a sequent (boring) post-rock publication. In a word, it is one of the best guitar-based releases ever heard.
