Description/Reviews
The band plays instrumental music with many ingredients.  Their music sounds illustrious and whimsical with progressive rock elements bolstered by violin passages and accents weaving their way around the rock rhythms.  They have some neoclassical nods here and there, mostly haunting and somber atmospheres created by the violin, but the music is primarily about energy, drive, and power.  Many passages come across as being akin to math rock in that commanding, complex rush of performance tinged with artistry and beauty.
One thing that sets Aesthesys apart is their use of electronica.  On this album, I daresay that it is more prominent than ever.

Description/Reviews
The musical style is a bit hard to nail down accurately.  The album has this modern progressive rock feel to it, though prog rock is far from the primary genre here, if present much at all.  While prog rock is obviously an influence to some degree, the album is primarily driven by keys and especially by violin, giving it an overall neoclassical atmosphere.  The voluptuous drumming and somewhat shoegazey guitars also provide the album with a post-rock vibe, especially through the band’s climactic style of song writing.  On top of that, there is a hefty helping of electronic music here.  It’s like this great big mix of genres that feels both classical and modern at the same time, impressing even further because of the emotions that all of this produces.
