I figured after basically a month of solid metal, it was probably time to move into something else... but that doesn't mean the tone is any less sombre or sinister. Drone is an area of music where if you've heard one artist, you've heard many. There's not much room for innovation in a genre that revolves around minimalism and repetition, so it's not often I test the waters and try something new from it.
As far as drone goes, AUN are really quite good. Multi-layered and relatively complex; the songs hum, fuzz, grind and twinkle in unnerving, dissonant waves. They're one of the more entrancing drone acts I've heard and do an incredible job of immersing you in a dark, dreamy state - aided by some of the most fitting, effective and ominous cover art I've seen in a long time, it makes for an impressively rich atmosphere.
