Various influences from the 90s, 00s, and 10s are all mixed together and melded into a coherent style that really works. The album opener \u201cLow Motion\u201d is a catchy crunchy rock song that mixes the best of the last three decades. \u201cSpectra\u201d is a groove rock track that will definitely\u00a0sound great live. \u201cBlack Hole Baby\u201d is revisited from their split with \u2026Of Sinking Ships. Still a great song. Most of the album finds the band in \u201cdriving rock guitars\u201d mode, but the albums closer \u201cThe Circle Binds\u201d calms it down for a nice acoustic closer. Overall, a stellar album that will be released soon on vinyl. Grab a copy and check out the outstanding artwork while you are at it.
