Piano nights

"Piano Nights heaves its audience into the darkest canals of the group's mystique, where the stylistic tropes are familiar but the forms they assume are not. Of course, the band's persistence is what makes this music "challenging," as opposed to the compositional structures that shape them, but on Piano Nights, those idiosyncrasies are pressed through a grotto of layered instrumentation that reveals an essential addition to the Bohren canon. This is the reason they continue to creep forward, exposing every dimension of their desperate, beautiful sound".

"This music gets dull--it's supposed to. I can't imagine listening to it all the time for the same reasons I can't imagine trying to cook an entire meal using only a garlic press. But in their limited pursuits Bohren captures a mood other music either struggles to or just doesn't bother with: Not sadness (too acute), not angst, but a sumptuous, all-purpose melancholy".
