Surell

I dig, it is kinda distant from the menacing, manic energy from their earlier stuff. My favorite thing about this album, though, is that all that energy feels restrained, bursting at just the right moments and maintaining that element of danger, if not creating a heightened sense of it with all the ambiance. Plus, the sound is more focused this way, and I think that's working great as the experience isn't as exhausting and feels more cohesive as well as a more thoughtful project.

That said, I'm gonna go check out the full second album now. I may find myself wrong here, I've heard it was a great next step after their first one, which was masterful itself.
