Titled after its exact runtime, the debut album from the Virginian ensemble dwells in the quiet, atmospheric intersections of post-rock and slowcore. The dual male and female vocals glide over incredibly patient, slow-building compositions anchored by cello and soft tremolo picking. It is a masterclass in tension, release, and delicate sonic beauty.
