Cold Womb Descent - Rise of Ldaovh (2012)



9.7

/Dystopbient, Avant-garde, Epic, Electro-acoustic, Abstract, Dark ambient, Space music, Shoegazetronica, Crossover, Post-rock/

Comment: this sophomore album is the follow-up to CWD`s great self-titled album based on glimmering cosmic shadowplays and intricate obscurity. Indeed, the brand new one is a worthwhile trace which dovetails these aforementioned elements with the tendencies of shoegaze and post-rock music. This 10-track issue can be considered a cogent trinity consisting of exulting dark ambient-esque choppiness, majestic synthesized layers and blazing shoegaze-infiltrated noise washes. On the other side, the release will be ended up in a more bleak, abstract electro-acoustic and analogue electronica mixed environment. In a word, it feeds the listener`s envisioning and  relieves you anxiety because of providing a place where you could escape. If to compare it to the other artists, however, some parallels can be drawn upon the likes of Bing Satellites, Our Subatomic Earth, Caustic Reverie, J. Dujardin, saanasessions, aboombong. Or is it an example of how MBV`s third album proper might have sounded? Very special by any means.
