BEST OF 2010 (albums) #21 Barn Owl - Ancestral Star (Thrill Jockey)

"Ancestral Star" is a doom-drenched Earth-indebted soundtrack for one of the most powerful, epic and mesmerizing films never made. The album paints a journey through a scorched-earth hellscape that ends as heroically as it does horribly. "Ancestral Star" is a submersive listening experience that makes for the most fully-realized Barn Owl release to date and is one of this 2010's precious few essential releases for fans of experimental, drone or doom. Full review here.
