Ok ignore that last classification, that was just a bit of self-indulgence. Then again who knows, it might catch on. This is something that positively vomits underground mass appeal; the kind of thing if more people were aware of they'd be frantically sprinting to the nearest tattooist to get the cover art etched into their forehead. Planet-sized dirges (appropriately enough) that melt into epic cleans and deep ambient nuancing over a monolithic 75 minute journey of dripping atmosphere, texture and melody with the odd Jesu and Cult of Luna inflection.
Quite possibly the only album you'll need this year? Oh yeah, they're French too. Quelle surprise.

Well, this one sure draws you in, doesn't it? Much of this album seems perfect and beautiful. They could teach a class on setting up atmosphere. Although there are a few moments where it starts to drag a bit, it always picks right back up where you left off. Excellence.

Excellent album and I'm surprised that I'm still playing it since I heard it last year.
