Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
this amalgamation of ethereal, emotional, mind-numbing styles has been unmatched by any other album I listen to. the first time I ever listened to this was heavensent, and I wish I could go back to staring up at my ceiling as every thought in my brain faded away.
I wish this music could be burnt into my mind so I have no chance of ever losing it; I need a CD of this, a record, a fucking caveman encryption of how to play it on a stick outside: anything and everything. dampbook
