Coastlands Reset: A Powerful New Chapter
In the end, Coastlands stands as the band’s most transformative statement to date. If I’m completely honest, it took me the last four weeks to finally feel this album and understand where the band were going with it. Once it clicks with you, then you’ll see that it’s a deeply textural, and beautifully gazed reimagining of their identity, proving that reinvention can be both risky, but ultimately for the band, personally rewarding.

Vinyl Never Forgets: The Sound of Solace: Jakob’s Musical Sanctuary
Jakob’s Solace is many things, but to me its perfection. It's a towering example of how post-rock can be both completely immersive and devastatingly visceral. It’s a record that captures the vast emotional spectrum of the post- genre with rare precision. Released in 2006, it remains a benchmark for instrumental music and is an album that conjures up expansive sonic landscapes while never losing its human core.
