06.12.08 ORGAN MAGAZINE REVIEW OF 'LUZ DEL ABYSS'

Influential music magazine ORGAN have reviewed the new SonVer album:

""SONVER – Luz Del Abyss (Disconnected) – SonVer are a radiant experience, warmly crafted pieces of instrumental post-rock, classically ambient, organic, alive – cinematic soundscapes that gently flow around embracing cello, slow-motion guitars, considered understated bass, drums and effects. A slow motion that’s always on the edge of some dramatic outburst, never that obvious though, things build in a more restrained way, cleverly constructed and really far too artistically accomplished to just be tossed in to the post-rock pot – this is a lot more than another post-rock album. SonVer are a London based four piece who bridge the twin worlds of classical music and rock music with a refined natural unforced ease, this is something that just feels instinctively right, something they just naturally do. Soothing pieces, inviting relaxing pieces, beautifully played, and produced with just the right amount of organic feel – recordings that are alive. Simple pieces, glowing – clearly they aren’t simple, there’s an intelligent complexity here, the work feels simple though, almost ambient, less is more, wonderfully relaxing – church-quiet and spiritual, a classic 4AD quality, some of the eerie magic of Dead Can Dance, quietly triumphant, music that glows, highly recomended."
