Triple Sun — The City Lies In Ruins (May 6, 2016)
★■♠★ Coming from very different worlds; classical, avant–garde and rock, the three musicians’ challenge was to engage in songwriting that would be both simple and full of inspirations coming from their very different backgrounds. The resulting sound exceeds its component parts — the listener won’t find ill–fitting influences dictating their direction, rather, the three disciplines of songcraft prove to be closely related.
★♠■★ Deep drones furrow down, creating a transient base from which weight has no standing, and semi–solid post–rock actions float by untethered. The masterful percussion leads the procession by example, contributing so much more than the usual rock drummer template, and swarms of hum and hiss, minute moments and grand declarations wrap around the intimate voices that narrate this album. Bridging the gap between Low, acoustic period Swans, Earth drones, the Leonard Cohen songbook, and timeless soundtrack compositions, the trio here have made a quite astounding collection of tracks, as unique as they are captivating.
