They Say...
The album starts off innocently enough with a delayed, clean-toned lull that's heavenly, but it slowly evaporates and is replaced by dark drones that are equally as soothing as they are intense. Growing balances the dense but heavy silence with interludes that would be right at home on a Pink Floyd record from the late '60s and early '70s. For all its intensity and seriousness, the album isn't without a sense of fun. The quirkiest moment of the record comes with "Tepsije," which has muddled feedback dirges over a melody line nicked from the Beatles' classic "Norwegian Wood." The versatility of the group shines in the album's closing moments. Starting off like "2/2" on Brian Eno's Music for Airports, "Pavement Rich in Gold" gradually melts into warm feedback loops before being rescued by crunchy guitars and the quiet appearance of vocals for the first time in the hourlong excursion. Sky's Run into the Sea is a stellar debut and a challenging listen for those who want their music to be more than just "audio wallpaper" for their lifestyles.
