Endless Planets EP by SuperVoid
Mixed and mastered by Dave Hidek of Grammy Award winning Treelady Studios, the "Endless Planets EP" by SuperVoid dropped just last week. Featured here and available for purchase on bandcamp, SuperVoid's maiden release couldn't be more impressive.
With two tracks spanning almost 17 minutes the EP is a great listen and exemplifies the band's mastery of tone and groovy writing abilities. Although the length of "Arcane Groves" may lose the attention of an unseasoned listener, I find the track develops well and provides a great contrast of post-rock exploration and sludge heaviness.
"Wake of the Smoke Jumper" ramps up quickly to provide a style cohesive with that of the first track. This gives the EP a great sense of direction and flow as it transitions from a lyrical theme that seems largely environmental to one that seems more centered around a character. The gripping notion of unknown vastness is divulged with somber lyrics in both tracks.
A quality I truly appreciate about bands is the ability to write deliberately. Endless Planets demonstrates this concept well considering parts don't feel forced, riffs aren't rushed, and drums aren't overdone. Overall, the listening experience is a very good one for the cultered "alternative" listener. Those with an appreciation for post-rock, doom, or metal will certainly connect with this EP.
