A Lonely Sinner

Despite loving the rock genre, I’ve never been deeply attached to post-rock. Although my post-rock reviews are extremely positive, there are maybe about 80% of albums under that genre that I didn’t like and never put on my playlist. And at first, I felt the same way about A Lonely Sinner. After listening to Lamb Theme, I was almost certain this wasn’t my type of album; that I wouldn’t be attached to the instruments and environmental effects used. This same feeling carried over to the beginning of Philautia, but it kept building, and building, until eventually I was under this euphoric spell in a way. And then Sinner and Storge came along with this deep, addictive guitar, and I just knew I had to finish this album. I loved the sound all throughout, even towards the end when this sense of calmness overwhelmed me, and the noise that once played. This is super well made, and I will be checking out Why I Disappeared once it comes out.
