Passages Through

On previous albums, Landing has offered up everything from clean intertwining guitars to long curtains of unimpeded sound sculpture. Each release has had its own feel, usually focusing on one side of the band s abilities or the other. Passages Through, Landing s fourth full-length, is an attempt to incorporate all sides into a flowing tapestry of songs. This release marks the fullness of Landing as friends and collaborators. Songs such as Wings of Light , To See You , It Is Shining , Breathing , and Tell Myself were written as a band and recorded live to tape with few overdubs, each band member adding his or her own distinct touch. Instruments were switched without ego and all thoughts were geared to the music, regardless of genre or classification. Passages Through does not fit easily into any one category, be it space-gaze , drone or post rock . This is the sound of four great friends playing music that comes from their hearts. Sometimes, the music sprawls out like vast oceans. At other times, the songs are clean and filled with heartfelt sentiment.
Never before have Adrienne and Aaron dared to be heard so clearly, but the result is well worth the risk.
