Where did these guys come from? Reminds me of a Lantlôs. Each track keeps you guessing and looking forward to what they have coming up next. As I've reviewed with 'A Book About Itself' from their only other LP release back in 2021. Lately I've been finding that more indie rock, metal-influenced bands from Europe (this band from Sweden) and especially the UK have been running circles around USA bands which have gotten stale and seem more interested in growing a social presence than actual music. This LP will definitely be on the list at the end of the year for me.

From 2021. This is in anticipation of their album later this year, but am doing them in reverse order. It's a long album, I don't need 50 minutes of them quite yet. I'm being nit-picky, but it does feel a bit overcooked in some areas. Adding additional melodies on the track 'Unseen' doesn't add additional value. Overall, this band has been one of the great discoveries of the year for me. Tastes like a first date meal.

Okay my album of this half a year is by a new band I kept hearing about called Karmanjakah
The closing track might be on par with Euclid by Sleep Token for me
Falling asleep to it and waking up to it every once in a while is an experience I would recommend it to everyone, I haven't had a nap this good in ages
