"The performance consists of one long, slightly changing drone over the course of an hour that reverberates through your body. Sometimes you want to panic. By the end, you reach a state of elevated bliss."
"The album begins with 'XXANN,' an 18-minute epic that washes over the listener with a ripple of booming bass and turbulent feedback. Like prior Sunn O))) releases, these tracks challenge the listener to find cathartic beauty amidst the noise."
"Running at nearly 80 minutes over only six tracks, Sunn O))) is an album that doesn't lend itself to casual listening. It's a headphones record, one for deeper listening, perfect for a dark evening surrounded by burning candles."
Sunn O)))'s latest album represents a significant evolution for the duo, marking their first self-recorded project without guest musicians. The album, released under Sub Pop, showcases their unique sound with an 18-minute opening track that combines booming bass and feedback. The nearly 80-minute record consists of six tracks, designed for immersive listening experiences. The duo's recording process in a rural Washington studio infused a primal essence into the music, challenging listeners to discover beauty within the noise.
