Spanish composer Ruben Caballero's album features ten crescendo-laden post-rock tracks written and recorded at the Arctic Studio in Alicante.
The loud-quiet template is evident throughout with soaring, euphoric moments coexisting with darker, melancholic piano breaks. Mood-wise it is divided between day and night with titles like Where The Sun Remains and When The Night Comes.
Unusually for albums of this genre, all the tunes are fairly short; the longest is just over four minutes in length.

It is, needless to say, mainly instrumental although it features the artist's first vocal track Dusk sung by Portuguese mezzo-soprano Aniah Alves.
The whole is described "aurally transcendent" which is a slight exaggeration but if you're looking for uplifting, melodic-rich post-rock, this ticks all the boxes.
