“Projekt Records” Archives

The album’s more atmospheric pieces provide a perfect example of Projekt’s “vintage” darkwave sound.

Let’s get the obvious out of way: the Cocteau Twins are the most obvious point of reference, particularly Treasure and Victorialand.

Conjures up every cliché of goth/darkwave music… and then easily transcends them.

Lycia is probably one of the few modern bands to truly capture and continue the sounds captured on such seminal discs as Faith and Pornography without sounding like mere copycats.

This is some of the most relaxing music I own, and by far one of the best ambient albums I own.

Whereas Soulwhirlingsomewhere’s debut was an intensely intimate recording, Everyone Will Evenutally Leave You has a more sombre and distant tone.

The songs are sparse yet warm, like Plaster is inviting me to hear revelations of his deepest anxieties and feelings.

No matter how abstract or surreal, how noisy and harsh, how processed and glitchy their sound becomes, there’s always a heart beating at its core.

This album shows why lovesliescrushing are at the head of the beautiful noise scene.

These compositions move and flow like giant pools of color, shifting at the same graceful pace as the landscape’s colors when the moon slowly moves over it.

A monolithic album that must be appreciated for its sheer breadth and scope, and moments of heart-wrenching beauty.

As for actually sitting and listening through the entire album… though it is quite beautiful, this could be intimidating.

Much of the music seems too thickly enshrouded by its sonic fog to hold your interest for very long.

An honest, sincere, and moving tribute to one of the most beautiful seasons of the year.

Love Spirals Downwards have released an album that’s incredibly listenable and quite beautiful.

The recording and the performances are flawless, perhaps TOO flawless.
