`: http://sickmangettingsickrecords.tic :'
`: tail.com/product/encirling-sea-a- :'
`: forgotten-land-dlp :'
`: :'
`: HereÆs the thing: YouÆve probably :'
`: heard this before. AustraliaÆs :'
`: Encircling Sea grafts earthy black :'
`: metal themes and musical motifs onto :'
`: a bedrock of lengthy clean doom :'
`: structures and sweeping post-rock. :'
`: So, while the bandÆs sound is :'
`: altogether more lilting and pastoral :'
`: than Wolves in the Throne Room, :'
`: Agalloch, or Altar of Plagues, and :'
`: not nearly so precious as the :'
`: Frenchy contingent of Alcest et al., :'
`: these songs are new buildings with :'
`: old walls. Ultimately, though, the :'
`: quality of execution is so high that :'
`: you just might like to make yourself :'
`: a home here. :'
`: :'
`: So yes, while the dominant mode of :'
`: Encircling Sea is atmospheric black :'
`: metal/post-rock, there are touches :'
`: of Panopticon-era Isis and fellow :'
`: Aussies Adrift for Days, which makes :'
`: A Forgotten Land an entirely :'
`: sumptuous album, rich with loamy :'
`: groundedness and horizonless open :'
`: spaces. ôYearnö opens the album with :'
`: a floating dark ambience that :'
`: billows gradually to a windswept :'
`: sort of tremolo drone, and as these :'
`: first minutes spill out into the :'
`: rustling shuffle of drums and :'
`: overdubbed guitar lines, they :'
`: illustrate the timelessly affecting :'
`: qualities of steadfast execution and :'
`: emotive songwriting. Shortly after :'
`: the songÆs ten-minute mark, the band :'
`: eases back into a gorgeously open :'
`: quiet section, where the clean :'
`: guitars chime endlessly and the :'
`: snare - this perfect, simple, softly :'
`: tight snare sound - pings out a :'
`: languidly martial cadence. It lasts :'
`: only two minutes, but provides a :'
`: crucial recentering, and a fine :'
`: springboard for the vaguely post- :'
`: punkish section that follows before :'
`: winding back into drifting ambience. :'
`: :'
`: Somewhat paradoxically, despite the :'
`: fact that A Forgotten LandÆs four :'
`: songs range from the long to the :'
`: really long, the thing that prevents :'
`: them from seeming overlong and :'
`: tedious is that they donÆt try to do :'
`: too much. When they introduce new :'
`: elements, or carry a previously- :'
`: introduced theme in a slightly :'
`: sideways direction, the transitions :'
`: are so smoothly rounded as to become :'
`: invisible. ôTranscendö revisits :'
`: lyrical and vocal themes in its two :'
`: primary heavy sections, and its :'
`: sedated midsection features some :'
`: bewitching female vocals (a little :'
`: reminiscent of Jesse Sykes). The :'
`: songÆs closing section almost tilts :'
`: into atmospheric sludge territory, :'
`: and one might think of Seidr for a :'
`: (very) rough comparison of a band :'
`: riding the slippery midground :'
`: between slow, atmospheric black :'
`: metal and epic, churning :'
`: sludge/doom. :'
`: :'
`: ôBecomeö is a perfectly lovely :'
`: acoustic folk number, all twangy :'
`: strumming in ╛ time, melancholy :'
`: violin accompaniment, and breathy :'
`: female backing vocals, and while :'
`: album closer ôReturnö ends up :'
`: dragging considerably in its third :'
`: act, the whole damn package is so :'
`: unerringly pleasant that I donÆt :'
`: really mind if it turns itself into :'
`: a plateau of sounds that I like :'
`: instead of a hiking trail of :'
`: consistently attention-grabbing :'
`: unexpected steps and turns. :'
`: Encircling Sea hasnÆt broken much :'
`: new ground with A Forgotten Land, :'
`: but these songs drip with such :'
`: warmth and commitment that this :'
`: particular listener canÆt help but :'
`: be enchanted. The road often :'
`: burgeons with long, low hours, but :'
`: sometimes there is a light, ôcalling :'
`: my name; / calling me home.ö :'
