8.8

/Drone pop, Ambient pop, Alternative, Slowcore, Ethereal pop, Experimental indie, Leftfield/

Comment: having no exact idea of how should the concept "dissociation" be interpreted in the concrete, 7-piece context. Maybe it used to disseminate the idea of escapism, more concretely, the opposition to an alienated world. Musically, of course, it is not so strange, though, there are up some discrete ideas and hidden virtues. Stylistically it mainly veers away from solemn drone pop and a little ghastly slowcore-tinged progressions to more ethereal, even ambient-alike flickers and lofty, infiltrated modern classical developments. For instance, Planet Fall is an epic, dark-hued impression full of internal combustion.
