In your home I’ve found the most serene place that I have ever known. I want to wrap myself in it and live in it for days. The amber sky dyes your hair a reflection, and with a fistful of it I could melt the world. If only the notes on the hills would linger, the sky sings the sweetest song when we’re both here. I long to stay. But you’re somehow away. You stay away. Somehow I know we’re never truly apart, because the hills are still singing.

An inspired triumph for the best post-hardcore in existence right now. The musicianship is top-notch here, spilling over with knotted, yet conversely open arrangements that resound with what I'd imagine American Football's circuitous guitar wizadry would sound like if woven into the brilliant, screaming, sonic chaos of Daitro. brantly

This is one of my favorite records of recent years, and mye absolute favorite of 2013. I wrote this review of it for the music site I have been writing for since 1999 (it's in Norwegian, but I gave it 6 out of 6, as you can see!): http://panorama.no/2014/04/12/bolgende-emosjoner-pa-toppniva/ Frode Fossvold-Jørum
