Description/Reviews
The musical style draws on the darker prog rock that Poland is known to produce.  While the album is certainly atmospheric and dreamy, it is also heavier than most Polish prog, reminding me of early Votum.  That means that the guitar work is chunky and riff-based much of the time, featuring lots of distortion and wistful finger work, and not so much in the way of soloing.  There is a sense that Tool is quite the influence in this area, and I think the late 90s/early 00s alternative rock scene is generally an influence here, too.  Like I said, though, the album is definitely atmospheric, and the glowing keys and shoegaze-style finger work are what produce this the most.
