Lights Out Asia - Eyes Like Brontide (2008)

"n5MD trio Lights Out Asia are old hands when it comes to marrying post-IDM electronic ambience and ethereal, shoegaze-inspired songwriting. Their 2003 album Garmonia has come to be very highly regarded within the field, and five years on the dreamy textures of Eyes Like Brontide find the band on fine form. Combining brief, two-minute dream-pop miniatures with full-blown ten minute epics, the album's narrative keeps you locked in, delivering highlights such as the reverb drenched 'Radars Over The Ghosts Of Chernobyl' and the impeccable, otherworldly falsetto of 'If I Die, I Hope You Die A Horrible Death'. Intent on going out with a bang, 'Six Points Of Fire' builds up over the course of eleven minutes, combining digital soundscaping with soaring guitar before eventually arriving at a combustive crescendo, rammed with high density noise and metallic overtones."
