MØL has notably transformed their sound from their earlier work in blackgaze, moving towards a blend of dreamy shoegaze and alt-rock influences in their latest album, Dreamcrush. While their evolution brings fresh dynamics and enhanced melodic elements, some fans may miss the raw black metal energy present in their past. Despite a few structural predictabilities and softer midsection tracks, the overall replayability and emotional depth of Dreamcrush demonstrates MØL’s refusal to stagnate.
Reflecting on their journey, could this shift in sound be seen as a natural evolution for the band, or does it risk alienating their core blackgaze audience?
