This is a fucking treat! Much cooler than my words will allow for. I'd say it is a must for fans of the founding fathers of post-rock, namely Bark Psychosis and Talk Talk. But I think Zelienople have taken that highly prized sound to new places, with an sound palette that remains focused throughout. offering a ton of lush instrumental surprises, flawless meditative drumming, and the apathetic and lulling vocal ramblings of Matt Christensen.

Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations.
