The Moth Gatherer have developed quickly over their first couple of releases; A Bright Celestial Light was an accomplished debut, but one that clearly displayed its influences from the early efforts of the post-metal pioneers, bringing to mind albums such as Celestial by Isis and Cult Of Luna's The Beyond. By the time they got round to album two, The Earth Is The Sky, the volcanic, crunching, sludgy post-metal riffs began to dominate the sound less and less, with multiple quiet, melodic, electronic-driven instrumental songs and the emergence of clean vocals, whose prominence grew on the subsequent EP The Comfortable Low. Now we arrive at full-length effort number three, and based on their current trajectory, presumably we can expect an even greater emphasis on quiet moments and melodic vocals? Nope.

Very nice 'copy' of Cult of Luna à la SATH-era. I love it!
