EREBUS, LA SUITE DE LAS SOMBRAS.

This is instrumental experimental chamber rock with strong modern classical influences; a good variety of classical instruments is used . It is very well played and sophisticated with complex structures, rhythm patterns, and harmonies that often steer outside standard tonality. The complex compositions have calm lyrical parts as well as more dynamical moving rhythmic parts where the drummer has something to do. Occasionally there's some jazz shining through. Due to the nonstandard tonality, the typical listener will not immediately associate this music with specific emotions. The atmosphere on the album is one of explorative openness; one can maybe think of walking through a rich botanical garden, but it's also possible to get a sense of mystery and suspense, even though the music isn't particularly dark and negative (neither is it light or positive). It comes over as mostly relaxed. Some may think this is going nowhere, but repeated listening is rewarding; things start to make sense that at first listening seem rather randomly put together.

Overall a very enjoyable album, even though probably not easily accessible for many. The sound is somewhat pedestrian and it takes time before something becomes memorable. On the other hand, this is very original and unique and the listener can never know what comes next.
