Utterly spare, atmospheric post-rock that drones onward like comatose Explosions in the Sky, like sedated Godspeed, like the opening moments of any operatic 20-minute guitar instrumental stretched outward themselves for 20 minutes, building towards no climax nor any expectation of one. Guitar paeans melt as they form, and then loop and overlay, backed by only the most basic beats, creating senses of texture and time more akin to Brian Eno or Pop than rock.
As music of this kind goes, it's good if unexceptional. The closing Swim Into the Sun, in particular, is effective at creating a headspace and then letting it fall away, leaving nothing. Music for long journeys, in cars or otherwise 3.5/5
