Holy Motors 'Slow Sundown'

Estonian band Holy Motors's debut is an amalgamation of songs that are part-Gothic part-slow music incorporating an array of influences from the theme of Twin Peaks to other ambient electronic music.

Certainly not to the liking of everyone who will listen to it, there are pleasing moments of levity and contemplation.

This is music for the soul of the soulful, night music played between strangers, a soundtrack to nocturnal music.

The eight tracks can be construed as mournful and euphoric depending upon the ear of the listener; mood music for the lonely.

The best track Valley though serves as a good balance of ambience and optimism
