If you close your eyes before you listen to the first note of the album, you can almost smell the incense of the coolest yoga class you’ve ever been to.
The non-vocal tracks are the perfect background music to any chill activity and I found it surprisingly emotional and relatable, even though this is a strictly instrumental EP. “Luminous Veil” is great. As corny as it sounds I felt the song was a journey, in the sense that you physically react to the highs and lows in the music. The moments of high intensity take your body on a physical journey, just to be gracefully nixed and allow time to re-zen before the next movement. I thoroughly enjoyed the music and it’s a great EP to add to your biking playlist/life soundtrack. In late August, Black Cloud announced that new material is on the way but the 26 minutes over these three songs will have to tide your ears over until then.
