Aliens

Following the bright, more succinct approach of "A Sound is a Memory" and the mellow, calming soporific journey of "Family Album", "Aliens" marks a shift towards the darker, more experimental sound world of the debut and "Light Everlasting" albums. Here, traditional structures give way to freer forms where rhythm emerges organically from the interplay of instruments rather than fixed beats. Tracks like "Wanton", and "Form" are driven by subterranean low-frequency drums, while "Gold" pushes further with distorted, abrasive percussion. By contrast, pieces such as "Return", "Symbol", and "Vacuum" drift into more ambient territory, unfolding in slow, textural layers.
