This sort of reminds me of Cirque du Soleil music. A lot of instruments that are foreign to me, such as cellos, harps and other instruments that aren’t pianos, keyboards, guitars and drums. (But they have most of those, too.) The result is very beautiful music that will languish in the background if you let it.
“Let the Crows Fly” is a real Point A to Point B song. It reminds me of the Cranes, only with fewer keyboards and a more normal singer. It’s not gothic, but fans of the genre would enjoy this temple-sounding music.
“Bee Forms” has a similar melody to “It Wasn’t Me” by Shaggy. I am not sure who thought of this first, but it wasn’t me. The whole song doesn’t use this melody; it’s more than seven minutes long. But stick it out long enough, and you too will be both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor.
“Desert Mind” makes good use of the organ (or is it an accordion?) to play with your mind. This is definitely an album that would sound different under the influence of illegal substances.
