Description/Reviews
Sidorenko‘s guitar begins the opener and longest cut (immediate points) with circa-five minutes of trance-inducing guitar soundscapery. The effect that initial movement has on the listener isn’t to be understated. If approached with due patience — that is, so long as you know you’re not waiting for the song to “start,” and that you’re already in it — the subtle intertwining of layers, periodic washes of cymbals, and outstretching reverb are a joy in which to bask.
At about 2:30, it breaks to just the guitar again as the foundation is laid for what will become the remainder of “Stringer Bell”‘s run, a gradual march joined by soft ride and snare, and bass, with the arrival of what might be the violin (I’d also believe a horn of some kind) a couple minutes later. By then, the opener is moving toward the halfway mark and a build is clearly in progress.

Description/Reviews
The record dives deep into intricate layers of swirling guitars and eerie violin melodies, resurrecting that classy sound and attitude of early Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Mono. With dynamics ranging from almost dog-whistle-level of “And there by the River I lost my Glasses” intro to thunder-like “It’s Snowing like it’s the End of the World” coda, the album peaks with re-recorded “Amnesia”, one of the first Krobak pieces ever written. The intensity and the groove are clearly audible on the shortest track of the record, “Broken”.
