Skyward Vernacular closes what has been a dramatic body of work, and is itself a dynamic journey through sound designed to stir the emotions. Soaring heights are fuelled by layered pads of distorted guitar, whilst patient analogue synths conjure passages of reflection. Noise and melody contribute equally to a feeling of rapture, and periods of quietude and near stasis provide an ethereal undertone. In a way its classic Ekca Liena, a return to the start that brings with it everything that has been explored and expressed since. For fans of Tim Hecker, Deathprod, Stars of the Lid, Godspeed You!
