Scale & Feather - Sonora (2018) EN

Scale & Feather, one-person project from Arizona, on its first release gives us a lift to the hot atmosphere of the New Territories. And it's done with loud and crushing post-rock.

Sonora is a state in the North Mexico, south from California, so the cover art and the whole south US vibe is really justified. The track titles don't leave any doubts either, the project is heavily rooted in this geographical area (the most interesting one is the last track's title which is also a date of the famous shoot-out in Tombstone). Also musically speaking, the artist knows what he's doing as he plays guitar post-rock in this massive, coarse and somehow slowly developing way of the sunny Arizona's heavy rock.

It gets even more interesting when the artist starts heading towards shoegaze in "The Way Of The Palo Verde" adding to the music some vocals lost somewhere under the instruments and sounding quiet and helplessly, like shouting in a dessert.

"Sonora" costs whatever you want to pay.
