Katabatic Lens is the second and certainly irrefutable invitation to the inimitable artistic world of this exceptional Hungarian band.
Following the path on after their widely acclaimed debut Anabatic Prism, the geography and climate has somewhat changed: the playfulness and colourfulness of higher overtones central to Anabatic Prism fall apart and a massive gate instantly opens up to a down-to-earthness nowhere else to be found.
Is it an ancient human culture excavated in the soil or rather a fearless survival attempt in a possible near future?
Whatever the answer is, as we walk through these immense and diverse landscapes invoked by the record's stunning compositions featuring different "equal divisions of the octave" tunings and complex metres, one can be sure that this unknown planet seems real and tangible, fierce and muddy, corporeal and with an unattainable antigravitational urge to leave weightiness behind.
Our ears are enchanted by the catchy melodies while they indelibly come back to us over and over again... We are simply hooked on them.
