Absent Without Leave - Neath The Tumbling Stars

Review by Khemera DOUK

Neath The Tumbling Stars, the latest album by Absent Without Leave, is a musical journey through a dreamlike world. The album features a blend of ambient, shoegaze, and post-rock elements that create a soundscape that is both ethereal and melancholic.

The album's opening track, "The Only Light," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting guitar melody and atmospheric soundscapes. The following tracks, "Fading Photographs" and "Beneath the Tumbling Stars," continue this dreamy atmosphere with their gentle guitar riffs and subtle electronic beats.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Last Time We Saw the Sea," which features a beautiful piano melody that slowly builds into a crescendo of distorted guitars and crashing drums. The album's closing track, "The End of All Things," is a slow-burning epic that builds to a cathartic climax.

Summary by Khemera DOUK

Neath The Tumbling Stars is a stunning album that showcases Absent Without Leave's ability to create a sonic landscape that is both captivating and emotionally charged. It is a must-listen for fans of ambient and post-rock music.
