Deafheaven are back with their new full length opus! I must admit that I didn t pay much attention to these guys prior to this record, but I heard my friend talking praises about their music, so I decided to have a listen when this record came out. This is pure dreamy soundscape for darkened hearts and souls that love dark, love melancholy and love their post black metal and so called blackgaze. The music of Deafheaven incorporates pop, metal, indie rock and dark, dreamy passages and make it in a way that is accessible, pleasure to listen and make you feel sad, yet happy at the same time. Vocals are clean, also recalling that dreamy vibe in me as a listener, yet keeping me alert for something out of nightmare lurking behind corners of the derelict, abandoned city that I am wandering through carried by the music. This album is a personal experience, as in makers of music, also as listeners of music. Every person should experience this one in their own, unique way. That is what makes it so beautiful.
