Comment: This Lonely Crowd, the combo from Curitiba, Brazil used to showcase their power and aesthetical strength in a way having never chimed so promisingly after their fabulous debut album An Endless Moment Everyday All The Time. Furthermore, their previous, third album Some Kind Of Pareidolia seemed to be lacking a little bit of sharp ideas and ever-winning propulsions. However, any next step is needful for something bigger or higher level achievable in the future. This time, more concretely, they do counterbalance massive, hirsute guitar riffs and eargasmic, orchestration-pitched noise walls and ingurgitating noise bits with silentful yet highly meaningful compositions. I have never perceived their oeuvre to be related to the post-rock scene somehow. Now they have done it due to epic frames and elusive visions. Very convincing and beautiful indeed. This is a way how rock music should be produced and transmitted. There are up 15 ditties, 2 of them are covers (Depeche Mode`s Everything Counts, and Napalm Death`s Lucid Fairytale). This Lonely Crowd are Humpty Dumpty, Jabberwock, Red Queen, Tweedledee, and Tweedledum.
