64. Psychonaut - "World Maker"

Another incredibly personal album that is fueled by personal loss and grief. Rather than wallow in righteous anger, this is an introspective and slow-burning record that reveals its treasure in a lingering and reserved fashion. It mixes post rock with prog, building between quiet ponderous sections and then bursts fourth in an infinite light. It is that constant switch between light and dark that gives the album such a rich texture. The Contrast is managed incredibly well and it feels complementary rather than jarring.
