Hotel Hobbies This is a challenging but wonderful album. It does not compromise stylistically or lyrically. Read my review here www.hotelhobbies.com/post/album-review-lanayah-i-m-picking-lights-in-a-field-anima-recordings-drongo-tapes-2023

ivoiiovi "hipster black metal" reigns supreme with these guys - totally superb take with its own sound, even before they expand it on the next album.
also bonus cool points for the unexpected Upsilon Acrux link.

reinholder This album and band are simply transcendent both for music and the Black Metal genre…..There’s no replacement for this sound…they’re the only ones doing it….The level of songwriting on the acoustic moments is up there with the best and the beauty and intensity they bring to the table when they’re at their heaviest is on another level I’ve never felt such warmth radiated through such heaviness….This unicorn of a band is the most exciting thing in music right now:) Favorite track: The Glory of the Ocean.

Hannah I remember when this album came out I was telling practically everyone I knew to go listen to it. The whole thing hits so hard for me. Favorite track: The Glory of the Ocean.
