Haunts - A Lack of Empathy (2017) EN

Haunts is a London-based project offering something more than just post-rock music. Their instrumental sound is complex and well-crafted like a crazy classical masterpiece. They have their own unique mood that gets to you although there is not much music on their new EP.

It is only three tracks. "Creep Pulse" is exactly that - coloured with a high dose of distress song based on mind-digging pulsating background. Even when the mood is smoothed by violin, there still this omnipotent feeling that something is not right. Perhaps it's the keys sounding like church bells?

"No Glory, No Steam, No Fire" is a poem enriched with spoken vocals, about how, despite what we think about ourselves, non-special we are. The most interesting part is how the pace changes in the middle of the track. The album is finished by "Crux" - long and filled with atmosphere-building strings and delicate sadness. Just like the whole album, it shows this slightly different approach to post-rock.

"A Lack of Empathy" can be yours for whatever you want to pay.
