Gravitational Pull vs. the Desire for an Aquatic Life
by Stars of the Lid
Moving further away from the noisy, experimental textures of their debut, the Texan duo heavily refined their approach to tape manipulation and heavily treated guitars. The incredibly sparse, slow-moving drones demand deep listener immersion, blurring the lines between modern classical minimalism and pure ambient soundscaping. It set a profound structural foundation for the acclaimed, sprawling double albums of their later career.
