Reinis Vazdiks

(rvazdiks)

My favorite album of the year so far - a darkly brooding, minimalistic and sensual record with a slow-burn sexy atmosphere.

Björk is timeless.

The first single ("Dance Of The Clairvoyants") felt like a bold step in a new direction, easily their best single in ages, hinting at a record willing to take real risks and stretch their sound, yet much of Gigaton plays it safe, leaning on well-worn Pearl Jam dynamics rather than building on the spark the lead track suggested. It’s far from bad, just frustratingly cautious.

If Radiohead, Muse, and Jeff Buckley had a threesome and a baby was born, somehow made up of three equal parts of each of them.
