Norway's solo project Taphephobia have returned with a new recording which shows the music going into a cinematic mixture of dark ambient and drone and this is a review of his 2020 album "Blue Hour" which was released by Cyclic Law.
Ambient style synths start off the album which also uses a variety of many different sounding keys while the music also has its atmospheric moments. Drones and cinematic sounds are also added into some parts of the songs along with all of the tracks also sticking mostly to an instrumental musical direction.
Spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of the tracks while all of the tracks also sound very different from each other. One song also adds some dark soundscapes and noises into the music along with the 2 closing songs also being very long and epic in length and all of the music also sticks to a slower direction, when voices are utilized they also add in a touch of black metal.
On this recording Tapephobia takes cinematic music, dark ambient and drone to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark while the song themes focus on dreams.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Taphephobia and if you are a fan of cinematic, dark ambient and drone, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Flashlights" "The Front Line" and "The Omen". 8 out of 10.
