Pretty decent, I wonder what will they bring in the future.

Nothing particularly out of the ordinary but a really nice example of the use of heavy melody in blackgaze and how fairly short songs can still bring huge emotions when songwriting chops are up to par. JORD has seven tracks that are intense, angry blackgaze with one shoegaze instrumental, Lambda, that breaks up the barrage and will remind listeners of Slowdive and the like. The vocals are intense and mostly ghastly shrieks but the band does make good use of some cleans especially in the title track ender. All in all, mol showcase strength in songwriting to create drama without needing 10+ minute tracks and they take advantage of bright and melancholic leads to add contrast and emotion to the angry black metal underbelly. If anything the shrieks get a bit repetitive and tha band sticks a bit too much to their formula at times.

balanced execution of soundscape and chaotic heaviness / flow from beautiful ethereal shoegaze vibes to speed dense thunder-like vibes to atmospheric dark vibes to textured cool riffs, weaving together as a perfect dark dynamic soundscape

Not perfect blackgaze, but it moves in some interesting directions for the genre, for sure.

"JORD" is an album that appears as a possibility within Blackgaze, making the contrary decisions that Ghost Bath has taken, and bringing more atmospheric influences from Black Metal than from Dream Pop/Shoegaze. The disc is not wide and cataclimatic in the same way that all the Deafheaven albums are, but the band is much more present in what the Alcest imposed the music, than its other neighbors. Good music with atmospheric chilling and with good perspectives in a debut album that deserves the attention in this bad year for music in general.
