Aarktica’s eleventh album is characterized by a peaceful, contemplative interplay between guitar, cello, and viola.

Aarktica’s latest is a return to the drone-oriented ambience of their earliest releases, but it exhibits a polish and poise that only a decade of experience can provide.

Those expecting a full-on return to the massive, glacial soundscapes of Aarktica’s first album, No Solace In Sleep, might be somewhat disappointed.

There’s a quality to Pure Tone Audiometry that plays with your perception of the sounds therein.

It’s an intense experience, and not one you’ll soon forget.
