Still chucking out the good stuff.

"On Avec Landenum, Stars of the Lid turn down the happiness somewhat, but this doesn't belittle another excellent release. The tracks hover more than shift this time, as ideas suspend but aren't motionless. The depth and introspective nature of this release is high, and it's not really druggy or uplifting like Gravitational Pull or parts of Per Aspera Ad Astra. It is still quality ambient drone, and is light at some points, as to take you into a deep revitalizing slumber.Clocking in at only 41 minutes, but plenty long enough to take you out in a hurry if resting in bed. Probably not a great starter as it's hard to distinctly remember much of what happens on this release, but while it's playing you'll be embedded. 4.5 stars."
