For the follow-up to their critically lauded, 2018-released full-length, “Evaporate,” founding Midas Fall members Elizabeth Heaton and Rowan Burn are joined by Michael Hamilton. “Cold Waves Divide Us” sees the band at their most confidently visceral, each song moving beautifully between quiet and loud, gentle and crushing.
Opener “In the Morning We’ll Be Someone Else” starts quietly with serene piano and vocals, ominously ratcheting up the tension to walls of crashing guitars and Heaton’s soaring vocals. “I Am Wrong” thunders along on pounding rhythmic drums swirling around Heavy swathes of low and delicate melodic highs. With “Monsters,” the band is more contemplative, with an ethereal beginning making way for gorgeously syncopated guitar and drums, while “Cold Waves Divide Us” builds slower, allowing Heaton’s voice to gracefully float over the growing force beneath it. “Avalanche” is a bittersweet lullaby showcasing Heaton’s heart-rending vocals in one of the quieter moments on the album. Elsewhere “Point Of Diminishing Return” sees a more electronic influence, with glittering shimmered synths taking the space where guitar melodies were, but with all of the Post-Rock beauty that the duo are known for, something “Little Wooden Boxes” showcases perfectly, expertly hovering between gentle clean guitar and piano, and exhilarating, uplifting full-band, full-bore epic.
“Cold Waves Divide Us” is now available on CD and digital formats as well as limited edition 180-gram vinyl, with 150 copies pressed on Black and 350 on Clear w/ Orange/Black Splatter via Monotreme Records
