The post-rock post-earth gravity of this debut record from Halifax's It Kills is nearly mythical in its control of lore. With a relatively sparse supply of instruments, the haunting trio peels the music out from under its ribs, carrying it like a bleeding torch, seasoned with all the pain and duty that such beauty demands in its conception. The music is an event unto itself: choral, majestic, harrowing—when it kills, it opens the gates of heaven.
