The second of five new Erang release. The french musicians five part collection of seasons finds its most curious moments here. Possibly the most subdued of all flavors, on paper it would seem closest to tradition. Somehow the foggy atmosphere keys, gleaming strings and waveform synths converge on a new mood. Its mysterious, drenched in a lonely nostalgia, an oddity of execution that is somehow without that distinct Erang footprint.
The
Absolute End Of Everything Human hints of an abysmal tone. Its opening
symphonic brooding and despairing voices create a "fallen from heaven"
epic that gives way to limbo. Two of the remaining three tracks very
much reside in a curious space, where the dark and light feel deceptive.
The Calm Tower balances out with a Fantasy akin stride through the
warmth of sunlight with an eerie underbelly always lurking yet when
focused on its disjointed percussion dissipates all tension. Its ever so
curious, as much of what unfolds on thees five are.
