Later this week, Russian Circles, Chicago masters of slow-blooming instrumental post-metal, will release their sixth album Guidance. Over the years, the band has shown a rare mastery of the balance between beauty and heaviness, and their new album finds them sinking into their sound with more confidence, perhaps, than ever before. We’ve already posted two absolutely gorgeous and epic tracks, “Mota” and “Afrika.” And right now, you can stream the entire album below, via Noisey.

Guidance is out 8/5 via Sargent House.
