'the sun awakens' is ben chasny's finest creation to date. moving away from the mellow, meditative 'school of the flower' his new album adds layers of electric guitars, tone generators, arabic instruments and clattering percussion. the first 6 tracks create an exotic and evocative suite - the opening 'torn by wolves ' takes richard thompson's beautifully bleak tones from 'grizzly man' and recasts them with fellow comets members noel von harmonson's drums, 'the desert is a circle' dips into the world of morricone and calexico, 'black wall' is a jaw-dropping middle-eastern riff ride, the second half of the album is reserved for the epic 'river of transfiguration' a thick, enveloping wall of drone and chant with al from om joining the throng. hands down one of the albums of the year!
