Very nice fourth album for Near The Parenthesis, in my opinion one of the most mature and balanced acts on N5md. A bit less epic and direct than the previous "L'eixample", the new material takes a more subtle approach to the slow guitars-ridden melancholic electronica that forms the core of this act's music. The arrangements are pretty intricate, the sounds clear and distinct, giving a sharp edge to the whole album. And while this is not without its particularely emotional moment, Near The Parenthesis knows how to navigate away from the kitsch elements, and should get rewarded for this alone. A solid album from a strong act.
