The Grammy-nominated band The Choir is out with a brand-new ten-song album, deviating ever so slightly from their roots in the alternative and post-rock scene to release this expressive work of art. While their music has always had an ambient component to it, “Translucent” is their first deep dive into the ambient genre with Derri Daughtery’s effect-laden guitar work, Steve Hindalong’s expressive layers of post-rock drums and percussion, and Dan Michael’s emotive and melodic woodwind instrumentation. Each track leads you on a listening excursion through post-modern Bladerunner-like vibes, deeply contemplative and reflective spaces, and moments ornately adorned with restrained optimism and hope. It’s a unique ambient listening experience that has re-invigorated my love for this band, and feels like a sort of coming home. "Translucent" by The Choir is available now on most streaming music services as well as at https://thechoir1.bandcamp.com.
