Arbouretum have managed to create an album that distils varied and potentially disparate styles into a fully realised body of work.
On Coming Out of the Fog ... Arbouretum's eerier inclinations are back in alignment with their amplifiers.
Heumann’s jammed plenty of ideas into the album, but, while Arbouretum is at least as proficient as ever, Coming out of the Fog lacks the teeth of its predecessors.
The band’s fifth full-length is a sluggish drone of guitars so muddy they sound like they were recorded in a bog married to pseudo-spiritual waffling from singer Dave Heumann.
