#1899 Mount Eerie - Sauna

After the visceral minimalist//maximalism of Clear Moon and Ocean's Roar this feels like a return to form, to bare expression, to balance in the drone and the lack. Elvrum stares death bare in the face, warmth bringing life, cold bringing awareness of life, Sauna feeling waves from the last fire album, The Glow Pt. 2. It's daunting, harrowing as ever, a deep-dive into a place beyond music like only Elvrum can bring. Go in prepared and empty and patient and come out exhausted and changed 4/5
