Sorrows third EP Threads, released earlier this year, picks up where
Lethe
left off, taking the band's initial foundation and widening it. I use
the word widening because the group have not exactly 'advanced' in the
common sense of the word, having simply taken the atmospheric USBM style
and remodelled it into a slight variant.
Threads is a single
track that goes for a little under 15 minutes, and in my opinion handles
atmosphere and mood very delicately. While this of course works well in
the EP format, I am interested to see if Sorrows can translate their
potential into a full length. If you're keen on bands like Fell Voices,
Ash Borer or several of the Canadian 'depressive-esque' bands (Gris,
Sombres Forets), then Threads is well worth hearing.
