Do Make Say Think have fashioned a fourth full-length album of tremendous
beauty and depth, more loosely woven than previous records and played with
careful, often wistful restraint. The songs on Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret
Hymn are eerie and iridescent, composed and captured with mesmerising attention
to detail, guided by the band's most intricate and intimate guitar passages
to date. Many of the songs feature a newfound non-linearity in compositional
structure that once again raises the DMST bar for imbuing instrumental rock
with heartrending - yes, even hymnal - narrative ideas. More than any previous
effort by the band, this is an album that yearns to be listened to as a whole,
or at least in the triptychs defined by the 3-sided vinyl edition.
