"The album seems to deal almost exclusively in heavily distorted down-tuned guitars and feedback, the core of Sunn O)))'s sound since they formed in 1998."
"It's not really an adjective that fits something that lasts the best part of 90 minutes, comes wrapped in a sleeve featuring two Mark Rothko paintings."
"Macfarlane is known for his books about the natural world, and Sunn O))) is an album audibly rooted in a landscape."
Sunn O)))'s self-titled album marks a return to their foundational sound, focusing on heavily distorted guitars and feedback. Released on Sub Pop, it eliminates previous collaborations and complex arrangements. The album features minimal additional instrumentation, with only brief piano moments and some synthesizers. Despite its back-to-basics approach, the album is expansive, lasting nearly 90 minutes and incorporating a vast number of guitar tracks. The artwork includes Mark Rothko paintings, and sleeve notes from nature writer Robert Macfarlane connect the music to the natural world.
