William St. Hugh is a solo artist from Fairhaven, Massachusetts that has had an album reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of experimental, ambient, drone and neo-classical and this is a review of his self released 2020 album "Weasels Devour The Sun" which will be released in February.
Ambient style synths and atmospheric sounding drones start off the album while the music also brings in elements of neo-classical. Most of the tracks are also instrumental as well as the songs also getting very experimental and avant garde sounding at times and the music also shows an influence of earlier experimental and ambient artists.
All of the tracks sound very different from each other while also capturing a cinematic atmosphere at times. Sting compositions can also be heard in some parts of the recording along with one of the songs being very long and epic in length as well as the tracks also utilizing a great amount of soundscapes, the synths also bring in a variety of many different sounding keys and as the album progresses a brief use of percussion can also be heard
On this recording William St. Hugh takes experimental, ambient, drone and neo-classical and mixes them together to create something different while being more calmer than the previous release while also keeping everything instrumental and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from William St. High and if you are a fan of experimental, ambient, drone and neo-classical, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Thin As A Whisper" "Forgotten Way" "Future Alchemist" and "Weasels Devour The Sun". 8 out of 10.
