O'Brother - Endless Light (2016)

On their third full-length album, Atlanta-based O'Brother embrace a heavy, spacey sound that, by now, has become their signature. Described by frontman Tanner Merritt as "apocalyptic space-pop," it's the soundtrack to either a dark dream or an oddly pleasant nightmare.

With the help of co-producers Andy Hull and Robert McDowell of Manchester Orchestra, 'Endless Light' softens the band's edges further, another step in a direction they've been slowly moving in over the years. They're more Tool than Torche this time around with a side order of Muse.
Full of great songs like "Deconstruct" boasting one of the band's grooviest and most noteworthy hooks to date, "Bloodlines" - a towering wall of droning instruments and choral harmonies and "Endless Light" which builds into a captivating dramatic climax, 'Endless Light' occupies a room as does a grandfather clock: big and rich, steadily paced and never swinging further in one direction than the other.
