More Than Background Music
A breath of transcendental air, God Is An Astronaut write the kind of music that could soundtrack the epic climax in every film, and the reflective moments, and in fact every second in between. 'Frozen Twilight' builds to a shimmering electronic peak with ebbing and flowing sonic tides that wash over you with a serene sigh.
'A Moment of Stillness' sees crystal notes rise above a soaring melodic background like the first taste of liberation for a caged animal. The ambience in every one of these tunes flutters between tension and effortless calm with a natural flow of emotion traced through each electronic whisper.
'Forever Lost' has an ironic certainty and strength about it with some disembodied sweeping vocal moans and clattering drums that add a distinct drive to the number. 'Elysian Fields' finds a crisp but dreamy path through dew-trodden fantasy. This fragile collection of musing glistens with texture and soothing vibes, although it is hard to call anything other than background music, its precision and beauty surpasses something that is played with no real interest.
