Spotlights’ *Seismic* is an impressive studio album released on CD in 2017. On this record, the band – consisting of husband and wife Mario and Sarah Quintero from Brooklyn – manage to take their signature blend of heavy guitar riffs and atmospheric soundscapes to the next level. The genre of *Seismic* is best described as a combination of post-metal, sludge and shoegaze, also referred to as ‘dreamsludge’. The music is both heavy and dreamy, with intense walls of guitar and driving rhythms alternating with dreamy melodies and introspective passages. The production, handled by Aaron Harris, successfully blends the whole into a warm, at times hypnotic listening experience in which beauty and melancholy go hand in hand. On *Seismic*, Spotlights explores themes surrounding the human condition and the fragility of the Earth. The music navigates between moments of crushing intensity and striking vulnerability, creating a compelling tension throughout the album. Fans of inventive, layered and atmospheric metal will find this work a real treat, as it pushes the boundaries of the genre without losing sight of its emotional impact.
