The Cinematic Orchestra has always been about songs taking their time, not rushing a beat, gradual movements and progressions completely uncompromised while at the same time keeping a steady groove.
This album does all that, but with a subtlety so far unheard of. Simply fantastic!
The palette of artists involved also seems to fill the album with references not usually felt on their albums. Is that Phil Elverum I’m hearing projected in “To believe”?
