Lush, shimmering guitar ambience and hypnotic, propulsive instrumental heaviness from Richmond, Virginia.
"Take the instrumental sprawl of the Red Sparowes, incorparate atmospheric electronics and then add the organic eclecticism of Jaga Jazzist with occasional diversions into cacophonous doom style guitar abuse, twangy countrified melodicism, ominous ambience and garage-rock swagger and youll have some idea as to what this sounds like. Sort of. On paper it might sound like a mess but magnificent musicianship and the constant infusion of overwhelming melodies drags you on a breathtaking journey through stunning musical terrain. For those who like their music diverse, and find the prog of Coheed and Cambria a bit too "song orientated", this is an incredible record of huge scope and ambition made to seem effortless by a remarkable band. 5/5 KERRANG!
