Explosions In Arcadia Bay

MORE REVERB, man lots of reverb this month, was it secretly Cory month? I love how the dry clean guitars contrast with the reverby background, it almost sounds like an emo song. It also kinda reminds me of like, drone music? Like some Boris shit? There’s a clear repetitive motif playing on the left side at all times but instead of feeling tired, it feels more like a trance, kind of hypnotizing. Very relaxing music. Reverbed solo in the second half feels anticipated, like it’s the only logical step. Then it gets full Brand New in the last stretch where it kicks into gear. This might be a little too long for this kind of piece and it may not stand out amongst voters but fuck it, I love this, there’s something about its simplicity and the crispiness of the instruments that really appeals to me.
