My favorite music changes with the seasons, but one album I keep coming back to is the self-titled album from Elephant Tree. I love that it's very heavy and doomy, yet melodic and paired with clear vocals and vocal harmonies. The juxtaposition of these elements just does it for me.

Lyrically, it's not high poetry but there some good lines on the album. Especially on the fourth track (Circles), which is quite sparse in its musical composition, and the following track Aphotic Blues - which show their heavier, doomier side. The album never fails to bring me joy.

And because I can't resist adding bonus recommendations:

If lyrics matter more to you, and if the above is too doomy for your ears, I'd recommend All Them Witches - either Sleeping Through The War, or Nothing As The Ideal . Some of the best lyrical writing in modern rock music to my ears. Great music, great voice, give it a listen.

I too love that album and find myself coming back to it. Habits is pretty great too, but it opens strong and then drops off for me. Their self-titled album is one I listen through start to finish.

Good to see another fan in the wild :), got any recommendations on bands with a similar feel?
