Review
Sub-two-minute sketches rush by in quick succession before the tracklist abruptly drops anchor into cavernous, slow-burning drift. The clipped bass pulse of "Faraway" and the rattling tom-toms of "Starline" flick past before their contours fully settle, joined by the driving, muffled fuzz of "endless Sky." Then the pacing wrenches to a halt: the six-minute "darkblue" freezes that momentum in place, letting glacial chords and trailing feedback squalls pool outward.
That sharp friction between compression and expanse defines the record's entire spine. Sparse acoustic pieces like "Dead shark" and "black and quiet love" strip back the instrumentation to skeletal fretwork and dry, legible singing, only for the sequencing to dissolve into the eight-minute "Canyon." There, organ drones, dense vocal layering, and a drawn-out low-end hum bring the swift turbulence of the earlier tracks to an absolute, suspended rest.
