"Midnight Sun" is the debut album of this canadian band and it's a collection of sonic reflections on the natural geography and harsh climate of the arctic terrain. The result is a form of industrial drone made of guitars and found sounds.
"Tinturia (part II)" open this album with harsh drones of guitars and synths, "Forgotten Outpust" quite surprise because, when you expect another sonic assault after "Beneath", it opens to quite meditative soundscape made out of synth pads, "Solitude" is a balance of harsh and quiet lines of guitars and synts. The album continues on this tracks until "Echoes from a Restless Sea" with the environmental samples to constitue the sound web of the track. This short tune introduce the listener to the second and absolutely meditative second half of the album that reaches its peak with "The Transmission" where quiet harsh lines of guitar meet with synths and quiet arpeggios, a wonderful tune. "Atmospheric Reflection" close with heavy drones and synth pads.
This release is a good drone record, and perhaps better than recent outputs of more known, and well respected, bands. An album for invernal meditation.
