The other reviewers have nailed what is so special about this album. Simard uses technicality like a paintbrush to deftly create a sonic landscape that's gorgeous, colourful and ridiculously rewarding. The melodic intricacy and the compacted mix that @burtbees rightly notes allow the brutality to go down like a glass of *insert your fave drink here*.
Favorite track: Like Crushed Violets and Linen.
