A moody, atmospheric double album, the tracks on Satori are variations on themes more than they are verse-chorus-verse rock songs; the record is composed of song-suites which begin delicately and ethereally and gradually build in depth and intensity. Overall, Satori is melancholy and spacious, with folk inflections; drums appear infrequently, while the sound is augmented with the occasional use of voice treatments, tape manipulation and sound collage. A demanding but rewarding listen.
