A Is an album from May too old for me to review if I’m pretending to be professional and up-to-the-minute about this?  Sure, most of its fresh riffs are just generic riffs cut up and folded in weird ways (an approach that makes these post-crusties really good at post-metal riffs, incidentally: they grasp that what makes repeating chords interesting, even expressive, is the suspense as to when they’ll stop).  But one can get so easily physically caught up in the way they lurch: the huge lifts and drops, rears and lunges of “Nigh(t)”, which syncs up rhythmic disjunctures and octave leaps to maximum effect.  Plus, they have an atmosphere that sneaks up on you; on first listen you may hear urban-grit texture to put bands like Indian which built their entire careers on it to shame.  But on second listen you’ll realize this sounds like something else, and, when you try to figure out what, you’ll find nothing.  World Narcosis’, as far as I know, purely original sound is based on a simple juxtaposition: dirty, grimy, grinding rhythm guitars with a clean, resonant, yet raw melodic lead that peals like a church bell at midnight and a fire alarm at the same time.  But it’s not just that: it also has something to do with the key of what’s either is G harmonic minor or some kind of C minor, and the spaciousness of the abyss of tom reverb on a track like “Everynone (Only Murder Walks You Home)” - space haunts this album in a lot of ways, actually - I’ve talked about it twice in this review (once obliquely), three times if I more precisely say gap or lacuna (which can apply to time as well), without even mentioning the bits where the frontman screams a cappella but instead of dissolving into the formless madness-as-sound-effect ranting this usually entails, sticks to the (minimalist, fragmentary) rhythms he would stick to when screaming over a guitar and drums, making for disorientingly long, precisely measured silences - but it’s not just that either.  I can’t say what it is, besides music, or whatever’s supposed to be in music that can’t be in anything other than music, or at least art, more generally.  So it’s not exactly like I can wait for another album to come along that I can recommend along the same lines, at least unless this practically unknown band picks up a following, and even then, I don’t think they’ll be as easy as Deafheaven to imitate.

let's be trve kvlt grim trolls and discuss! follow for follow!
