Review by illusionist for Deafheaven - Sunbather (2013)

I don't get the hype. Sounds like a completely average post-black/blackgaze album. There some interesting sections and cool melodies here and there, but for the most part none of tracks manage to be memorable or evoke any strong emotions. Sunbather is not bad by any means, but I've heard this sort of thing done much better by other bands, like Woods of Desolation.
