A Swarm of the Sun - The Rifts (2015) EN

A Swarm of the Sun consists of Erik Nilsson and Jakob Berglund and they're already known for dark guitar post-rock overwhelming not only by its sound but by the ambience and themes they touch. The music is epic and immediately brings an image of the frozen North but it is less about latitude and more about the human nature's limits.

The Rifts is their second LP and it is a journey through the landscapes of human soul, handling "t losing hope, dreams falling apart and isolation" as they describe. The song titles themselves tell the story of human life from the perspective of its fragility and sadness. Dark thoughts at once crawl in your mind when listening to ASotS music.

The Rifts was recorded in Garaget Studio and The Church of Brännkyrka and it was mixed by Magnus Lindberg, known for collaboration with Khoma and pg.lost. The album is expensive, it costs 18 EUR, the music is impressive though.
