Understated post-rock that leans more towards ambient than seeking to impress with towering layers of guitar: Cancer House from Chicago focus on The Moth, with its quiet, delicately woven sounds. Their debut album is dark without being gloomy; it’s steeped in melancholy yet conveys a sense of comfort – like stripped-back slowcore, whose fragile soundscapes unsettle, yet are all the more beguiling for it.
