    It's ambitious, for sure. That there isn't a single moment that's not compelling is the real victory.

    Slow Forever thrives in that existential anxiety, as though Wunder and Fell realized they had a lot to lose but even more to gain. As surprising as it may seem for an album where death, despair, and destruction linger in every word, Cobalt gambled on resurrection and, against the odds, advanced.

    Slow was born of isolation and betrayal, but it’s music that was meant for concert halls Cobalt deserve to fill, music that rewards both introspection and reveling in like-minded rapture.

    With their newest release, Eric Wunder as loosened the tether and slipped into the savage void. The band is all the better for it.

    All told, it’s a huge and defiant return.
