Description/Reviews
Describing the lush sound and vivid emotional palette of Kindred Spirits as being basically equal parts Devin Townsend and latter-day Anathema (with maybe a bit of Les Voyages…-era Alcest in there too) is probably a little too reductive, and really doesn’t give enough credit to the striking creative voice and vision of Arctic Sleep’s mainman and multi-instrumental marvel Keith D (who handles everything, including the cello and the djembe, apart from the drums on this album).
But it should, at least, give you a hint about what to expect from these eleven tracks… namely a spellbinding array of moody, progressive riffs, effortlessly evocative melodies, and gorgeously harmonised, utterly heartfelt, vocals which, collectively, combine to form one of the richest and most rewarding musical experiences of the year.
