Only the Youngest Grave
豆瓣
简介
Only the Youngest Grave is dedicated to life, dreams and death.
The disparity of melody and dissonance and how they affect each other.
Overall, the album experiments with drone, ambient, ritual, tribal, jazz, noise, neofolk, post-rock, tape music and vinyl manipulation.
Disc One, Oneiric, is more visceral, alive, feeling.
Disc Two, Lethean, is largely reflective, droning, wandering.
