Thymiamatascension
by Alora Crucible
supported by 30 fans who also own “470 Nanometers”
Hard to compete with They Are The Shield for me, but this stands up to it. Barriers Hymn might be the strongest emotional reaction I’ve had to a Driver piece since The Second Operation - so excellent.

Secular Works, Vol. 2
by Extra Life
supported by 29 fans who also own “470 Nanometers”
Brilliant union of early music and rock. Strong Cardiacs vibes. I find a lot of chamber rock to be meandering and aimlessly angular. However this stuff is different, the compositions are extremely tight and diverse. The instrumentation is sparse and rickety, but has these brilliant flashes of grandiose orchestration, it's very balanced. I don't think I've heard a more successful integration of early music into modern forms before. Absolutely a modern masterpiece of progressive "weird" music.

Crystalline Exhaustion

supported by 25 fans who also own “470 Nanometers”
Krallice reinventing their sound again while still retaining their signature quirks. Fantastic album, a wavering, beautiful mess that engulfs the listener.

SINNER GET READY
by LINGUA IGNOTA
supported by 23 fans who also own “470 Nanometers”
Def deserving of a 10/10. I feel no record will ever come close to what this one does in terms of its subject matter, and it breaks my heart every listen. Love the optimistic closer and truly happy Kristin has been able to find that "paradise" of her own and be happier in her life! ❤️
