Despite an almost claustrophobic soundscape akin to being lost in the doldrums (the title of closing track No Way Through The Fog is rather fitting), there are moments of widescreen respite in the form of Scarlet and Alt Figure before the waves of gloom roll in again.
Powerful, sombre, and possibly the quickest way to end a party.
