Super epic sustained feedback rock with a couple tracks of drone. Soaring and melodic in places. All instrumental, longish tracks. For fans of old Loop, Sunn ((O))), Swans, stuff like that. Lots of held/sustained loud guitar chords and drumming, songs don’t change much throughout, just get into a groove and go with it. But not bash-out noisey. Accessible. Great stuff.
1) epic soaring sustained, melodic and not as noisey as that might sound, long fade-out at end
2) slightly slower dronier, but still epic
3) pounding, tribal
4) Beautiful noise drone, drums never appear
5) slow mindful drums and sustain, long (15+ min) and doesn’t change much throughout
6) another mid paced one, slightly halting
7) more spacey, this one has spoken samplings on the topic of law enforcement, cops in their annoying helicopters
8) slightly plodding with minimal guitar melody
