“Planning for Burial’s unrelenting blend of shoegaze, metal, and ambient blurs the line between melancholy and optimism. The cover photo, captured by Megan Elyse Lloyd, could have zoomed out to the vast loneliness of the desert, but instead it centers on two chairs that, at a glance, look almost like an abstract sculpture, a representation of a couple who had to leave something behind.” Thank you!
