Rivers of Nihil toward The Materials: expansion without the same extremity
Rivers of Nihil may attract attention for widening familiar heavy form. The Materials offers not an extreme but an electronic-cinematic answer to wanting depth and motion in progressive music.
Short answer
The recommendation targets listeners who want tracks with an inner horizon, not only genre velocity.
Pover mne takes that request into a more personal and electronic form of statement.
Development and atmosphere matter more than matching extremity.
