SEMANTRON      “Secrets of a Krummholz Heart”

By Octopi Mills

Here you have David French of YOB fame doing a new project encompassing a lot of various influences. The music has a mechanical sort of vibe with a human heart void of the swarming hive mind. Starting off with a slower track and going off into other slower tracks, the album plods nearly jazz like in droning and nesting; warm tones, whining little notes style with ambient pieces sounding like a sort of film soundtrack. 

There's some mumbling vocals here and there and some semi deep emotions in the overall performance, at times sounding like the man is dreaming or nodding off into something adjacent. The blue LED light gives off a small ambience that seems to evoke a city of post modernity. The whole flow of the album is to be long, slow, and swirling, narrated by some groaning vocals with some crackers of the mouth at times and heavy breathing. I do not personally think this would be the best album to listen to while at a rest area or even driving across the open road. Watch out ahead if you are to go driving- for patches of fog and things of that nature. Later I  learn this album identifies as Post Rock and Ambient.
