That passage from 5:50 of The Danger of Alignment is a quintessence of true post-rock, sharp and minimal.
Favorite track: The Danger of Alignment.
Michael Checco
Wow. Just wow. This album is unlike anything else I have heard. Definitely one of my favorite albums of all time. Red Bird is my favorite, only because it's the most 'typically' structured, making it easy to follow, and it's simplicity keeps my mind engaged but allows it to wander at the same time. Their tone is very organic, and each track has multiple points of intensity. Every song can be thoroughly listened to or played in the background, with certain moments coming to life. Happy Listening.
Favorite track: Red Bird.
Frederick Jones
Red bird is such a phenomenon song and is my favorite song from the last couple of months. These guys are phenomenally talented. One of my new favs for sure.

This album is best listened to in a quiet space on your best set of headphones.
From soaring guitar lines, complex rhythms and ambient soundscapes, “Red Bird,” demonstrates the vastness of metal music, taking influence from Caspian, Cloudkicker, The Contortionist and more. Traditionally grouped into progressive metal and djent, the quartet has made a conscious effort to transcend all conventions and constraints that factor into production, songwriting and image of those genres. Leaving behind direct-in guitar recording, programmed drums and in-house mixing/mastering, all four members performed and critiqued the album, creating the most organic and truest form of the band yet. “Red Bird” evokes cathartic feelings of love, growth and uncertainty, and being that it’s instrumental, it encourages the listener to create their own narratives in the music.
