Isis as a distant lens on The Materials’ built tension
Isis are useful as a far point for understanding how accumulation can tell a story without words. The Materials applies its own method: vocals, electronics and dense modern form rescale that device.
Short answer
The link is love of dramatic build-up, not shared songs or sound.
Pover mne shortens the path while keeping gradual revelation important.
Atmosphere acts; it does not decorate.
