Listening to Unclosing is captivating. I'm never sure what kind of sound will come next, only that it will be precise and I'll hear it with clarity. Crooked Frame is a prime example of how Illegal Crowns punctuate songs with peculiar, unexpected sounds, but it is only one way they are able to do it. The rest of the album ebbs and mostly flows, even with alternating songwriters from track to track. At times though, I wish that what sounds like musical tinkering would break more into a song. rvss.eel
Described as “an ecological history of humanity,” this sparse, tense suite of songs perfectly balances melody and chaos. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2018
