This is the first release from 'This Will Destroy You' and it will destroy you. It's an experiment in creating mellow, dark, depressing music with restrained bursts of shoegaze-type ambience. Unlike their self-titled, the songs on 'Young Mountain' don't develop as much as they oscillate with rhythms and noise. It also uses much more delay and reverb than the self-titled, making a less clean sound. 'Grandfather Clock' sets itself apart, both by being a short song and by the electronic beats underneath the guitar. 'There Are Some Remedies..." was on the soundtrack of The Taking of Pelham 123. I can't really explain the music, just listen. 10/10
