Kauan - Ice Fleet

Empirical proof that 'Sorni Nai' was not a fluke. Having never really followed up on my spectacular first date with the music of Kauan, it nonetheless gave me another chance when I came crawling back all these years later. Taking me to the frozen shores of Tiksi Bay to recount the story of a fleet of ships mysteriously buried underneath the ice, my second date with the music of Kauan finally opened my eyes to the band's undeniable talent for painting lucid and vivid worlds through their gorgeous brand of post-metal storytelling. Truly spine-chilling stuff... and not just because it's cold as fuck out here in 1930s Siberia.
