ironman64 The whole album is great, the end though is just phenomenal. Favorite track: Weightless.

leowits The third big release from Musk Ox, and certainly their best. All the best elements from Woodfall return; the brooding atmosphere, soaring notes, and intricate technical work making themselves known.

Overall, it is much tighter than woodfall, as though the fat has been trimmed. Tonally it is much more aggressive than previous works, sometimes taking an almost percussive nature Favorite track: Weightless.

about

Seven years since their widely celebrated sophomore record Woodfall, the elusive Canadian chamber folk trio Musk Ox have returned with their highly anticipated third release Inheritance. Despite the long wait since their acclaimed 2014 record "Woodfall", the musicians within Musk Ox have remained prolific, releasing numerous albums with affiliated projects such as The Night Watch, The Visit, and Kamancello along with solo work from each member. The trio's combined stage and studio experience is on full display throughout "Inheritance", a captivating set of compositions representing new levels of growth and maturity for Musk Ox. As with "Woodfall", the original skeleton of the album was composed on guitar by Larochette before being handed to Weinroth-Browne for string compositions, re-structuring and additional guitar arrangements. The trio then spent hours workshopping, arranging and rearranging parts in the rehearsal room, leading to a more refined and collaborative album. Containing some of the group’s most ambitious as well as intimate material, "Inheritance" is a cathartic collection where wordless hymns of worry and wonder form the stirring soundtrack to an uncertain age of reckoning, reflection and resilience.
