I eagerly anticipated 2017’s Diaspora to examine their detailed musical tapestries, especially given the constant progression Cormorant seek. I regard Earth Diver as a step down from their amazing beginning but it remains a worthwhile album for fans seeking their work with a slightly harsher tone.

I’m such a fanboy that this happened a little while back. They’re unremittingly progressive, drawing influences from all manner of music since the ’70s, but tie it together delicately and emotively, all the while never ignoring the immense power of the riff.

I sincerely rate their opening records, Metazoa and Dwellings, as among my favorites since the beginning of the new millennium. If there’s one criminally underrated band whose discography I implore you to investigate, it’s surely California’s Cormorant.
