Sunbather is the second album released by American black metal band Deafhaven, when it was released the internet practically exploded with praise. They praised the band's sound, which is so different than just about any group out there today. While I can respect that the sound is different, experimental, and new, I simply don't think I understand the praise this album receives. Maybe it was the vocals, which maybe I'm too dense to respect. Despite that, I do love the music in this album, it's the airy kind of sound that you've come to expect with shoegazing, and it goes just excellently with the vocals.
8/10
