This is a really cool record, post-rock reminiscent of that dreamy soundscape Sigur Ros and Explosions in the Sky do with a little bit different kick to it.

Although many will label this a mimic, this album is it's own thing and regardless of how it's labeled it is actually very unique and worthy of any post-rock fan's attention. My personal feelings on post-rock really make me enjoy this although others would call this sleep-worthy. I call it intense while others call it boring. It's all a matter of opinion, fans of post-rock would likely enjoy it.

I find it amazing that this is a one man project because of how dense the music is and how vivid the musical picture it creates is. Each track is dipped in a little bit of glacial atmosphere and the ending product is a very tight post-rock sound.

Alfheimr is definitely a project worth the post-rock fan's attention and would also be a good introduction to the genre of post-rock if one is needed.

3 solid stars.
