Ulver - Liminal Animals (2024)
Ulver's Liminal Animals continues their exploration of synth-pop and experimental sounds, compiling singles released over the past year with an additional new track. The album maintains a consistent mood of calm melancholy, juxtaposed with lyrics addressing themes of war and societal unrest. The recent passing of keyboardist Tore Ylwizaker adds a poignant layer, especially on tracks like "Forgive Us," which resonate deeply despite being recorded prior to his death. Overall, Liminal Animals exemplifies Ulver's ability to evolve while retaining a sense of unpredictability and depth.
