After Aereogramme's brilliant swansong "My Heart Has a Wish That You Would Not Go", Craig B and Iain Cooke follow up with "the Unwinding Hours". In places it seems like a change in direction, in others it seems more like a change of pace. The visceral bits of the earlier Aereogramme material are all but erased, but it couldn't be described as an acoustic album. For one thing, acoustic albums struggle to sound this big. The sheer size and depth of some of the dynamic bits on the album make me think of Mogwai, Sigur Ros, and yes, Aerogramme.
For fans of big atmospheric interesting beautiful music, and people who aren't fans of big atmospheric interesting beautiful music yet.
