Arka Morgana — probably a pun on Fata Morgana — is an album released by Australian post rock band Myriad Drone, on October 18. Fifty-one minutes long, the record has eight tracks: 1) Time Enough at Last; 2) Vitreous; 3) Arka Morgana; 4) Please, Stand by..; 5) Atonement; 6) All Roads Lead; 7) Disguidance; 8) Unrequited; with a soft, but at the same time abrasive and lucid style, Arka Morgana is a remarkable album, that displays exceedingly marvelous and graceful melodies. With a sensible, but diluted musical layout, the lyrical cosmogony and the tender atmosphere of the harmonies define a new level of creative impeccability and overwhelming originality, that has all the proverbial means to captivate the listener immediately.
With a powerful musical flexibility, that reveals a genuine desire to entirely supplant the general boundaries and the ordinary commonalities of the genre, Myriad Drone displays an effusively aggrandizing, placid and fulfilling musical style, that revolves around the colorful uniqueness of its hyperbolic diffuse tenderness, wich each song having its own particular density and atmosphere. While the first two tracks — Time Enough at Last and Vitreous — are spectacularly wonderful, but amazingly slow, the third, the title track Arka Morgana, is absolutely intense and astonishingly heavier, revealing an acute abrasiveness that gradually, almost imperceptibly, decreases to a central and serene depondency. The flexible, exceedingly vivacious layers of the musical diagram that floats through the sonorous possibilities generated by the cohesively creative splendor of the group's dynamic style definitely displays a very organic degree of audacious originality into the harmonies; the ostensibly creative elegance, and the concomitantly structural temperance that characterizes Arka Morgana in its entirety, certainly qualifies the album as one of the best ever conceived in the history of the genre.
With the solid predominance of beautiful harmonies — and a splendorous style that can only be described as vivaciously graceful and ambitiously authentic —, the music of Myriad Drone is a salutary exhibition of intuitive sonorous sensibility. From start to finish, the album is a succession of harmonies as marvelously graceful as they are intensely precise, with melodies twitching to exhaling in the lonely peripheries of the human soul the formidable atmosphere of its ascending serene horizon of absolute majesty and everlasting rapture. Displaying such an aggrandizing musical sensitivity without any major creative nor technical deficiencies, Arka Morgana reveals itself as one of the best releases of the year.
With incredibly elusive and transcendental melodies, Arka Morgana is an almost perfect musical accomplishment, that reveals an impressive convergence of talents, that can be rarely combined altogether to produce such a spectacular result. Displaying a sober and cohesive, but at the same time expansive and dynamic musical diagram — that can be expressively elongated according to the creative possibilities defined by the band —, Myriad Drone not only deliver on this album a fantastic group of symphonies whose marvelous dissonances present a whole different perspective into the general artistry attributed to the genre, but also reveals a distinctive, dispersive, melancholic greatness, that beautifies the reason behind its vigorous and energetic melodic vivacity. Definitely, Arka Morgana is a sensationally wonderful, groundbreaking album, that has all the necessary virtues to be placed as a landmark in the history of the genre.
