Intriguing debut release of Shoegaze/Post-Rock informed electronics from Ghosting Season and their host label, This Is It Forever. 'Far End Of The Graveyard' opens a portal into a world of crisp, laptop-processed beats, swooning string arrangements and widescreen atmospheres, synchronizing the two with a refined aesthetic equally adaptable to the 'floor or in-house listening. The titular opener shares much in common with Pantha Du Prince, from the fluid rolling mnml Tech-House rhythms to the arcing guitars and plangent ambience. Next, 'Exercise Us' slips into Byzantine Dubstep mode, sweeping strings add a rich romance to sonorous subs and whip-cracking snares, before a brief beatless breather on 'Washed Ashore'. 'Dead Man's Switch' concludes with a fine balance of swung-out crescendos and post rock signatures that work a treat. Strong debut.
