Album Review

Reviewed 2012-01-07
Layered, spacey guitars, drones, and effects. Not too noisy - Quach uses distortion but never enters abrasive territory. Dynamic instrumental music that challenges the ambient label and outer-space aesthetic. Aftermath is pure melodic gorgeousness to which you wrap yourself in and drift away. RIYL Aidan Baker, Lunar Miasma, The Slaves.

*1. Celestial, heavy looped static / fuzz. (8:00)
2. Warbly siren cinematic guitar period music. (6:08)
3. Spaced thud, unexpected processed synth lead. (5:08)
4. Melodic, water, lush guitars + feedback develop into an epic, searing march with a drawn-out release. (9:38)
*5. Warm blankets of fuzzy tones, infinite seascape drone, and relaxing guitar dreaminess dissolve into a thick fuzz wash. (11:03)
*6. Low-key, melancholy extension of 5. (6:34)
