Best City Burials

The proof of Jonas and Anders’ enduring artistic bond is displayed throughout ‘City Burials’, absorbing 58 minutes of meticulously crafted melodies and inspired, idiosyncratic arrangements. From the spine-tingling dynamics of opener ‘Heart Set to Divide’, through and the simmering menace of ‘Lacquer’ to the wildly evocative sorrow-scapes of ‘City Glaciers’ and the exquisitely delicate ‘Vanishers’ (featuring a guest vocal from Anni Bernhard, of Stockholm art rockers Full of Keys), Katatonia’s eleventh studio album is a showcase for a partnership that was magical from the very start.
