Another new song, very reminiscent of Illumination Ritual mixed with a little Peregrine PREMIERE: The Appleseed Cast Brave the “Chaotic Waves” on New Single
hmmm i think this is the motorik-ish track they closed their set with when i saw them! second half sounds like something from portishead's third, fucking incredible
Amazing stuff. Time the Destroyer got me excited, Chris's interview on the Washed Up Emo podcast this week got me extra excited - and sure enough as I listen through the first time it is paying off. I enjoyed Illumination Ritual a lot, but this is more immediately impactful than any of their recent releases.
Really digging this so far. Reminds me a lot of Low Level Owl in the way that the songs just kind of drift around, but flow together so easily.
I literally forgot I was listening to music during The Journey, but not in a bad way at all. Rather I was just so completely engrossed in the sound that it became part of my thinking- if that makes sense. It wasn't until the last thirty seconds or so that I remembered I was listening to this record haha. Really beautiful.
so far I’d say up there - maybe - better than Sagarmatha no way better LLO, 2C, Peregrine better than IR, MS but on my first listen lol & obviously completely irrelevant because the point is that it’s awesome
That's a perfect description of the whole album. You just get lost in it. I think "Asking the Fire for Medicine" is my favorite track. So gorgeous. I really disliked their last album, but this might be their best since Peregrine.
Add me to the list of people loving this. It's like a mix of their prior work, while also being fresh. The generous addition of synths is really doing it for me.
