The Sydney post-rockers don’t sound like they’re part of a sad boys club here.
If anything, the vibe of this instrumental album – the band’s third since 2011 – is strong and hopeful. The production value stands out the most; everything is clean, crisp and full of purpose. Nine-minute opener Team Solar paints an abundance of landscapes, while lead single Yes, I’m Breathing builds around an uplifting guitar melody and commanding drum beat. The eight-minute-long I Felt Unsafe, I Felt At Home is a wonderful example of a building instrumental narrative – these guys are masters of their craft.
