The Gathering Disclosure

2012, The Gathering is a band that has got all of the fans quite used to change, evolution from album to album and DISCLOSURE makes no exception. After the atmospheric, liquid sounds in HOME, the catchy, classy rock of THE WEST POLE (and the introduction of new singer Silje Wergeland), the Dutch combo is back with an eerie, downtempo, psychedelic record that reminds of Slowdive and all that music populating the lands of electronic/darkwave/ambient. Guitars have not been forgotten, but they have not a major role in the album. DISCLOSURE is opened by ,,Paper Waves", a mid-tempo in which electronic and rock mingle creating a lush sound and Silje's vocals are soft, emotional, a bit melancholic, though not sad. The Gathering never made an album that was similar to the previous one, they always try different things and manage to stay interesting, never boring and catchy. Another masterpiece.
