If you've read any Philip K. Dick you might have heard of his book VALIS, in which he explores a life-altering religious experience he had using a character modeled after part of himself. This album is like the disorienting, biblically-accurate-angel, overwhelming sonic equivalent of that. The riffs are constantly shifting but at times almost in a way where it's like they're taken apart and then the bits that are added as flourish or an "unfolding" ends up shifting into a different riff, but there's also lots of callbacks to the forms and structures of different motifs throughout. This album has been continually mind-fucking me in the best way possible for the past 2 weeks. Definitely not for everyone, but if it's up your alley, it's up your alley.

this is like 70% the future of pop music and 30% prog rock, it's a concept album about transformation through the thematic lens of aliens sticking a CD in your head, and the nerds over on rateyourmusic are calling it the album of the year. get this - they're right. saw it live the other week and maybe got a gig of the year out of it as well. I mean look at that.

There is something about this album that makes it so hard for me to hear. It is deeply uncomfortable and really scary, but its a really interesting ambient work.

💔Bonus points if you didn't even do anything wrong, it's just because of the circumstances of the relationship (long-distance) and your partner not being able to handle it anymore (they say it hurts too much when you're away)

🎑When you see their light grey outline from bright moonlight with some stars peeking through...just feels so mystic. Like I feel a visceral connection to the people back in the day who would quest through open plains between the forests at night
