Deeply atmospheric music with a dramatically dark and sinister edge characterizes this release, the latest from this Calgary duo. Industrial textures dominate, but the harshness is leavened with the use of some spectacularly churchy organ sounds. The \u201csoundtrack\u201d of the duo\u2019s name is truth in labeling: while the music stands on its own, there\u2019s a lushly cinematic character to the tracks. Some are soundscapes, while others are through-composed pieces with hypnotic beats, thundering rhythm and distinct melody. The seething, whispered vocals certainly add to the ominous feel of the music, and the lyrics double down on those qualities. Even when the singer intones, \u201cDo you wanna dance?\u201d the listener can be sure that we\u2019re not talking about the Twist here.<\/p>\n<p>The ironically-titled \u201cGood Time Slow Jam\u201d is indeed slow, unfurling its malevolent qualities with scalpel-like precision, but whether it qualifies as a \u201cgood time\u201d will have much to do with the listener\u2019s musical proclivities. The squalling, bleating guitar figure that caps the track is certainly memorable. Instrumentation is inventive throughout, making full use of a variety of keyboard and guitar textures in a way that renders their sources unidentifiable. And the music occasionally takes a turn toward the \u2013 if not upbeat \u2013 then at least uptempo. \u201cA Monolith of Alarms\u201d channels all of Post Death Soundtrack\u2019s assets into a catchy (if unrelentingly chilling) context. A dense sonic tapestry, <i>In all My Nightmares I am Alone<\/i> delivers quantity along with quantity: the album serves up more than two dozen fully-formed tracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The name of the artist and the album title straightforwardly telegraph what\u2019s in store here.
