Album Review: Jambinai - A Hermitage

StarStarStarStar

"Forget about the post-rock tags you may have seen, because you've never heard anything like this."

More Jambinai Jambinai Profile

Combing regular electric instruments with traditional Korean ones, the music that Jambinai make is a publicist's nightmare.

Forget about the post-rock tags you may have seen, because you've never heard anything like this. Strange, sinister and brutally oppressive at times, Hermitage is a treasure chest of creativity. In particular tracks like They Keep Silence could gain traction with open-minded doom metal heads, whereas the epic For Everything That You Lost should appeal to Sigur Ros-tronauts. Hermitage doesn't just open a door to new possibilities; it kicks it off the bloody hinges.
