The title of Loss's new album "Despond" may be the most literal title in the history of music. This is one of the most crushingly depressing albums I have ever heard, it's also utterly amazing. Glacial doom with quiet interludes that make Harvey Milk sound well adjusted, Loss is music to be listened to alone in a dark room while contemplating the abyss. Did I mention that the vocals sound like a dying beast? Because they do, which only adds to the despair. But, goddamned if this isn't one of the most powerful records I've heard this year. It's also rather beautiful in it's own melancholic way. Instant doom classic. "Open Veins To A Curtain Closed"
