Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging after a decade-long hiatus, the Norwegian project helmed by Ola Fl酶ttum delivers a devastatingly beautiful, glacial masterpiece of slowcore. 'The Weight of Spring' strips back the instrumentation to funereal tempos, relying on hushed vocals, sparse piano, and subtle orchestral flourishes. The deeply melancholic, atmospheric compositions serve as a profound meditation on sorrow and natural isolation.
