April Rain - a melting snowman EP (2016) EN

The ode to the melting snowman is not a typical album by April Rain, who clearly describe itself with plain words that they are a post-rock band from Earth. But this year's EP is a beautiful message played on piano with occasional guitar distortions in backgrounds. The band's intentions are clear, the title of the first track explains everything - "i wrote this instead of a letter".

It's a message filled with melancholia but also with spring - it's this destructive state when the view of people who resurrect after winter only stresses out your pain. When the signs of love pass by ("a melting snowman") and we want things that are not going to happen ("dontclosethedoorandletmein") which we can't even ask for (words I can not say"). And this spring melancholia, so different from the autumn one, can end only when the spring life eventually wins in a violent way ("when birds will break through my chest"). BTW, apparently this feeling affects also the knowledge of English grammar.

"a melting snowman" is a touching prediction of what some of us are going to get through soon, when days are longer and dark thoughts are surprisingly not suitable.

EP is available for $3.
