While From Fathoms remains my favorite of this fine band's output, this must come a close second. Sculpted from the same layered guitarcentric strata, the music here could have been a second disc in that release. Massive.
live material from these releases is beautifully documented at archive.org here: archive.org/details/GFE2009-08-17.asburyAT320.FLAC.
Favorite track: City Lights Scraped The Sky.

This record was the one that made me lose myself to the band. Asa screamed for attention, Vorel rocked hard, but Moia made me smile and cry at the same time. If you're looking for an album by the band to warm up to, pick this one up! s/he knows
An tempestuous post-rock journey inspired by the existential threat of climate exchange, "Triumph & Disaster" overflows with grace and grit. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 9, 2019
