Cinema - Memento Mori

Review by Doc Coleman

Cinema's album Memento Mori is a haunting and introspective journey through the human experience of loss and grief. The band's signature sound of atmospheric post-rock and ambient textures is on full display, creating a sense of otherworldly beauty that is both calming and unsettling.

The album's opening track, "A Memory Stained," sets the tone with its slow-building guitar melodies and ethereal vocals. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through the various stages of grief, from the anger and frustration of "In Mourning," to the acceptance and peace found in "Elegy."

Throughout the album, Cinema's musicianship is top-notch, with each track featuring intricate guitar work, delicate piano melodies, and subtle electronic elements that add depth and texture to the overall sound. The album's production is also worth noting, with a pristine mix that allows each instrument to shine while still maintaining a cohesive sound.

Summary by Doc Coleman

Memento Mori is a stunning album that showcases Cinema's ability to create deeply emotional and introspective music. It's a must-listen for fans of post-rock, ambient, and instrumental music in general.
