Mogwai inspired instrumental rock. Uncertain yet hopeful. Tristeza electric guitar: ringing, bell-like reverb, soaring effects, layered broken guitar lines. I found myself starring every track, cause this is a musical formula that I'm a sucker for. They're all good; all mostly have the same elements. -nari

*1. definitely starts off with a snarl; eye of the storm, theremin inspired middle; concludes with broad, stretchy Landing-esque fuzzscape

*2. twinkling electric guitar, then full blast guitar, then twinkling, then full ..

*3. dreamy, bending guitar line soars over resolute march

*4. unlikely spoken word poem; voice ends @ 2:13 and gorgeous spaced out rock ensues; becomes angst rock assault; my fav

*5. steady, melancholy march; suddenly explodes w/screaming guitars @ 4:00

*6. 12 minute grande finale; tense beginnings build to fuzzy, layered peak; recedes to moody tranquility
