The Old Northwest Milwaukee, Wisconsin
With riffs that creep out of the cold and lonely depths of the midwest, The Old Northwest create songs that are simultaneously sad and beautiful, mournful and uplifting. This is a soundtrack for a world crumbling by our own hands.

Powerful, plaintive expression of the fathomless sorrow of our suffering cetaceans and their depthless home, together with the indescribable loveliness of their distant blue-black realm. I feel as much interstellar space here as I do deep ocean, equally crushing and buoying.

Utterly hypnotic, heavy, and ethereal beyond what I can aptly describe here. It'll take you careening down a kaleidoscopic wormhole of audial bliss.

This record yearns and aches with sorrow and hope, tenderness and broken-heartedness, that tears you up. This music reaches out to you. I loved the blend of acoustic, electric, and synth swells. I loved how many of the musical phrases ended on an accent beyond where you expected them to, a feeling both marching and soaring. This album is mottled light through the leaves falling onto the stone walls where you sit, awash in feeling. The swell at the end, cutting into silence, took my breath away.

Exciting heavy band Lanayah take the best elements of the loudest genres (shoegaze, black metal, hardcore, etc.) and make them their own.
