At Horizon’s End is an expansive track that starts slowly and builds, over time revealing a hopeful narrative at the precipice of opportunity and redemption. This is a lush march of sound with Ronan Harris’ voice speaking across the vastness of space. Many of VNV Nation’s tracks historically have led the listener toward some end—a call to action, a swell of anger, an expression of love. This one is more demure and measured, with a tragic sense that reminded me a bit of New Order’s Elegia; its longing sadness between beats. There’s an inevitability captured in the pull of what my imagination and Harris’ lyrics summon, a black hole resting at the edge of possibility. The unyielding journey toward that horizon is as intoxicating as it is unavoidable.
