Black Narcissus - There Lingers One Who's Long Forgotten (2025)
"There Lingers One Who's Long Forgotten" has been praised for its ability to evoke profound emotional responses through its intricate compositions. The album comprises eight tracks, each weaving a narrative that explores the complex relationship between humanity and nature. The opening track, "On This Twilight Evening," sets a contemplative tone with its gradual build-up, leading listeners into a journey of introspection. "Draped in Ivy, Gilded by Time" follows, blending melancholic melodies with powerful crescendos, reflecting the passage of time and its impact on the natural world. The centerpiece, "It Calls, It Beckons, It Guides Us Through the Gloom," stands out with its dynamic shifts and atmospheric depth, embodying the album's thematic essence. Critics have noted that the duo's minimalist setup—relying primarily on bass and drums—does not hinder their ability to produce a rich and expansive sound. Instead, it highlights their creativity and mastery in crafting layered, immersive tracks that resonate deeply with listeners. Overall, the album is considered a significant contribution to the post-metal and post-rock genres, offering a fresh perspective through its conceptual focus and musical execution.
