This album is in
my collection as a result of a deep dive into Bandcamp. I found this
under the ambient tag and found the record for 12 euros... 16 shipped,
no brainier.
Sea of Monochrome consists of six separate tracks.
Each one contains a very distinct sound and mood - yet they all tie
together to create a complete album.
Most of the songs are
solidly in the drone genre, containing minimal melodies over long and
slow to develop passages. The album does offer variety however. Every
now and then there will be percussion thrown in (that startled the hell
out of me the first time I listened), it adds just enough variety to
keep the it from becoming too one dimensional.
Other tracks will
vary the pace or add just a bit of dissonance - all elements that are
quite welcome. Is this album a game changer? No, it is not - it is a
nice album that knows exactly what it wants to be and achieves that with
flying colors. For 16 euros this one is hard to pass up.
