Style: ambient, witch house
Primary Emotions/Themes: a slow and somber take on the ambient genre
Thoughts: Ambient music sure is diverse. Sometimes it sounds like the depths of hell, other times it can sound like heaven coming down. Other times still it sounds like were stuck inside a dream, much like Everlasting.
Everlasting feels like it's an album moving in slow motion. The instruments take their sweet time to get anywhere, yet the music is fluid. The drums flow naturally yet they are lethargic. The melodies are there, yet they are drawn out and spaced separately in ways that are still understandable, but they feel like they are moving under water.
Despite how slow the album is, it's not frustrating. It's something that takes time to acclimate to, but once your brain has adjusted there is a lot to enjoy here. These slow moving currents of songs are the perfect counter balance to a fast paced life. They meet it head on and force you to slow down.
