Caïna purvey a very dark, sometimes trippy and psychedelic sound. The music takes influences from many genres, mainly black metal and shoegaze/dream pop/space rock. A lot of songs on here will start off very smooth and soothing, but will transition into crushing, dark and atmospheric riffs. You will notice this on the song "Willows and Whippoorwills".
The lyrics are not always comprehensable, but you can still get a feel for the general themes of the music when listening. The lyrics are very well-written, and are very intelligent and fluent in their approach.
Another plus about this album is the fact that it is fairly easy listening for any occasion. It is calming and atmospheric enough to fall asleep to, but not so much that you wouldn't want to listen to it at any other time.
This album is haunting, soothing, and bone-chilling in its ways... I would highly recommend it to fans of black metal, shoegaze, or any other dark ambient music.
