Not quite sure how I feel about this album yet. On one hand, Swans are experts at building trance-like atmospheres and sustaining loud, intense tension; on the other hand, the repetition of tracks, like Mother of the World, can be downright annoying. Gonna give it a few more listens and then try listening to the next album in the trilogy

My first time venturing into Shoegaze music! Pleasantly surprised! Was under the impression that most Shoegaze music was vibes, no substance. Don't really know why I thought that but I was wrong.

Reminds me a lot of Vespertine's production in how it sounds almost transcendental. Just so, so beautiful. I'll be coming back to this album many more times.

Bit of a mixed bag. Some hard skips on this EP, mostly the tracks that lean into bizarre vocal effects, and 2 tracks that are truly mesmerizing: Flim and IZ-US. Not really an experience that I'll be coming back to but the tracks that I enjoyed I will definitely keep in my rotation.
