This new incarnation of Earth really makes a difference, and compared to the glorious past, Dylan Carlson certainly has nothing to envy. When everything suddenly stopped, I realized how deeply they managed to engulf me, even though I was barely following in the end... The silence was disorienting.

The drummer of Pelican is a monster, capable of maintaining broken and extremely slow rhythms simultaneously while doubling the beats with precision and daring. They ROCK MUCH MORE and create some brutal sound walls, where the guitars rage now in ultra-metal riffs, then in cathartic waves of slowness and noise virulence, then in almost-lysergic and dreamy ballads.

"A triumphant chorus of magmatic noise, combined with dynamics of a power and intensity perhaps still unmatched even now in the new century of experimentation." "This is a masterpiece for refined palates, not for everyone: in fact, you risk being zombified forever, given Michael Gira’s voice timbre."

The accordion takes center stage and certainly imparts a very folk flavor to the whole, but the taste it leaves on the palate is far from being succulent and elaborate... everything appears, upon repeated analysis, sparse and sober, yet magnificent. These 6 tracks leave one astounded for their broad vision, for their emphasis, and above all, it is a spectacle to hear (especially in headphones) the sound grow ever more: first gentle and graceful, it turns with class and style until it becomes grave, menacingly orchestral.

An album that is meditative, however disturbing: SOMA’s guitar is at times unfathomable, such is the processing to which it is subjected. To be internalized ad infinitum, a revenge of the cold on an exploitative humanity, capable of seeing in it only ski fields and ski lifts.
