]]> Vapour Night is the recording project of Ali Murray, who resides on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of northern Scotland. He has just released a brand new album, Snow Fled, which sees him expand on his previous work, creating a great swirling beast of an album that fuses elements of pop, electronica, post-rock, noise and shoegaze. What that equates to is something thick and dark and ominous, from the thumping rock of ‘Blinding White’ and ‘Ancient Youth’, to the dark and sinuous electro pop of ‘House of Water’, the whole album sounds large and massive, if not always crushingly loud then at least consistently pervasive and all-enveloping. The album closes with the title track, split into two (less than equal) parts. The gentle lull of ‘Snow Fled Pt 1: Winter Lullaby’ give way to the 8 minute mammoth of ‘Snow Fled Pt 2: The Neverending Wilderness’, a slowly building post-rock song which rolls in like thick banks of fog.

RIYL: post-rock, shoegaze, Mogwai, God is an Astronaut
