Curse Mountain has been around for ages now, building up impressive publicity stunts and roster-building stunts, but this is their first full album (so far) and they really haven’t done anything to break away from the drone-heavy sound they’ve been churning out.

The six tracks on this debut album are all densely packed with drone-like sounds that press on the head like a claustrophobic hypnotherapist. It would be easy to pick out a handful of the individual tracks in this way, but as is often the case with Curse Mountain, the sheer amount of variation in production techniques makes every individual track unique. This means that if you like something different about the music of Curse Mountain, you can always switch up the way the album was recorded. There are long passages of slow, drone-like sounds, deep, slow sections where everything is in slow motion and there are sections where everything is stressed out, but the drone is always in motion. It’s like there is a time delay between the first moment of dawn and the last, which gives the album a duration of six minutes. It’s not always slow, but it is consistent throughout.
