"In a way, Lo! are the kind of band that impress more with the density of their sound rather than its size. Metaphorically. Despite not being a long album, The Gleaners is a huge album."

I had heard a few "catchy" songs before by Lo!, but never really went deeply into it. And then came this.
I like everything about this album, it's as simple as that.

A range of sounds beautifully meshed together, it features some great dynamics in and around the crushing heaviness, excellent.

Here we have a band who have upped the ante and created the concept album for us all to follow and end tyranny across the scorched earth we call home. The Gleaners is absolutely awesome, sounds so wicked with styles from post hardcore, post metal and the amazing riffs of sludge metal firing from every angle, Lo! may have just created AOTY, they definitely have just laid down the gauntlet, go and buy this stunning record, you will not regret it!!
Favorite track: The Gleaners.

about
The act of gleaning was a medieval practice where a lord or nobility would allow their lowest subjects to sift through the refuse of a newly harvested field for subsistence. Replace grain with truth and we ourselves are gleaning daily through media, relationships and our own myths to subside; hoping to harvest sense from the muck and mire.

Being a fulltime creative is great and all, but I also work about 60 hrs/week and a lot of it is not fun. When it's the middle of the night, and I'm exhausted, and alone in my studio with a looming deadline and a painting that's already taken so much of my time that it feels like a bad marriage, this is the kind of album that keeps me going.

The Long Road North
by Cult of Lunasupported by 69 fans who also own “The Gleaners”
“Post-metal” can often be guilty of merely being loud and lingering. Cult of Luna totally dodge this pitfall. I think I most enjoyed the many textures throughout this album; percussive items beyond drums, emotive synth swells, untraditional instruments. Cult of Luna create a totally unique flavor to express their musical colors. I loved the powerful CHURN that swirled through much of this album, from the beginning horns and drums, carried forward by an excellent rhythm section.
