Surface Hoar, the debut album by M Amundsen, is a remarkable blend of ambient, post-rock, and experimental music. The album takes the listener on a journey through a vast and desolate landscape, where the soundscapes are as haunting as they are beautiful.
The opening track, "Frost Flowers," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its ethereal soundscapes and delicate piano melodies. The album's title track, "Surface Hoar," is a standout piece that features a driving rhythm section and soaring guitar leads that build to a satisfying climax.
Other highlights include "Snowdrifts," a hauntingly beautiful track that features atmospheric soundscapes and haunting vocals, and "Polar Night," a brooding and atmospheric piece that perfectly captures the feeling of isolation and desolation.
