REVIEWS:

Like black wings of apostate angels riffs sweep motion of the song into a gradual shifting of melodic potential between points, a fog of distortion melding melody and harmonization into enduring tones capturing space with their presence of motion to filter future sounds through their structure. Inventive and often playful in melody, borrowing scales and notions of harmony from older cultures, these songs each create the basis of a mood in introductory material and then develop it like a cinema noire, with a darkly foregone conclusion played out in anticlimax amid the subsidiary chaos of its genesis. Baroque in anticipation of shadow and time, ritual cadences emerge throughout song tempo fluctuations as inducted accompaniment.
