Album Review: Epithymía by Anjou
Excellent, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 8/10
On their second full-length as Anjou, Labradford alumni Mark Nelson and Robert Donne artfully express fear, loneliness, and calm isolation. The album's six compositions are primarily on the lengthy side, with four of them stretching past the ten-minute mark, and they take their time to unfurl and evolve gracefully. Anjou seamlessly combine rough, tense elements with relaxed ambience, and the dark and light elements play off each other perfectly.
Based on rating 8/10
As Anjou, Mark Nelson and Robert Donne make ambient music at its grandest scale. Their spacious, gentle synths evoke concepts of great magnitudes, like music that planets could dance to. Epithymía, the duo’s second full-length release, molds a sense of sublime wonder through its six tracks, consisting of four ambient suites and two shorter interludes.
