This is a one-of-a-kind album, nearly flawless in its execution, and I’m not sure the 600 word review I’ve written so far could properly put into words how enthralling Cold Waves Divide Us is. I cannot recommend it enough.

If any genre stands by the old adage that an album should take you on a coherent journey, it’s post-rock. That’s exactly what acclaimed Scottish outfit Midas Fall, centred around the duo of founding members Elizabeth Heaton and Rowan Burn, set out to do and achieve with their fifth full-length offering Cold Waves Divide Us.

Self-described “miserable prog” soundscapists return after six years with beefed-up but still brooding fifth album.

Listened to this while playing Subnautica 2 and it perfectly fit the atmosphere. A little repetitive, specifically with the drums, but otherwise epic and immursive the entire way through.
This is some interesting Progressive Rock/Post Rock mix with epic moments that sadly become less frequent as the record kind of peters out towards the end
