The Ansible draw from a sprawling array of influences—from breakdowns straight out of a deathcore playbook to moments of progressive metal-meets-post-rock placidity—to create a varied and engaging experience without coming across as long winded or dull. The band’s softer moments are entrancing—as percussionist Darian Hatcher and bassist Nigel Summers play off each other in a blissfully jazzy manner, as guitarists Chris Crow and Greg Hinck channel equal parts Monuments-styled riffing and Explosions in the Sky-like subtlety. “She Sings” and “Incursion II: Transition” display this brilliantly, showcasing the band’s ability to play soft, soothing—yet tricky and jazzy—melodies to play to The Ansible’s more progressive side. Here, frontman Derril King songs with a soaring, almost-crooned clean voice that drops into quiet, almost-whispered notes for enhanced ethereal effect. “She Sings” sees King showcasing the extent of his stellar clean singing, hitting a cavalcade of notes and styles to keep even fans of The Ansible’s heavy side intrigued.
