1. Now In Stock: MOVING MOUNTAINS "Pneuma" 2x Color Vinyl LP
Pneuma is a collision of emo-rock glory, math-y dynamics, waves of complex melody and epic atmospherics...and it's nothing short of stunning. As the title suggests (pneuma is Greek for "breathe"), Moving Mountains has created an album that lives and breathes with each graceful crescendo and every shimmering arpeggio. The complex, multi-layered arrangements are complimented by vague literary references, whose powerful themes enable the music to resonate emotionally without being overly particular. Tossing aside the constrictions that most bands place on their art, Pneuma looks toward the future and transcends boundaries while paying homage to past and contemporary luminaries. At its core, Pneuma is a record that is ambitious in scope without losing sight of the huge-sounding songs and memorable choruses that make it so immediate. Tracks like "8105" run the gamut of textures and tempos. There's a haunting grace in the soaring vocals and layers of sweeping guitars, but Moving Mountains tempers the space-y soundscapes with dizzying percussion and compelling delivery. As massive chord progressions scatter around thundering rhythms and ambient interludes pulse with tension, we're reminded that this amazing amalgamation of sound bridges countless gaps. It's rare for a debut to be so adventurous and instrumentally adept while still focused on riveting, intensely powerful songs. Moving Mountains satisfies, amazes and astounds at every level.
