Collapsing Hymns

The Means to an End This is one of the best things that has ever happened in the history of music. A too-short trip down a raucous tunnel of sound and emotion and spirit that culminates in a bright shimmer.

If I have one criticism, it's that it ends too soon. Steven R. Smith is a fucking genius, and he leaves me wanting more.

Smekermann I first started listening to this and was thinking to myself what a nice little moody release this was, all pleased with it already around Latrans. And then Above the Arbor came on, and it blew me away.

That has to be one of the best songs Steven R. Smith has penned in his long career - the way his guitar emerges from the brooding haze of the intro is amazing. The song reaches an intense smoulder, with some really nice drumming from Smith. Just an incredible song all around. Favorite track: Above the Arbor.

Lars Gotrich Woodland psych hymns that emerge from feedback-filled smoke and hum synths into the sunset. Favorite track: Latrans.
