Qualia (the one from Cambridge as there are at least a few projects with similar names) is a solo work by Dan Leader who creates extremely sad and atmospheric music. After the last year's album Cheerful Pessimism, he comes back with the second part in Hopeless Optimism. And it's going to be one of the most important releases of this year.
From the very first moments, Leader's music makes me think of Raised By Swans - similar vocal, similar aesthetics, similar instruments. The artist creates his music so the audience could "dive into the wall of sound created by layers of guitars, ambient landscapes and noise experimentations". But .I should stress it very clearly, Hopeless... is first of all an acoustic album, the leaders here are vocals and guitar sounds, not much more is needed.
Noise here is generated mostly by the furious (in some parts) drums and... trumpets. And they can generate lots of it. Together with those come post-rock guitars making tracks like the very complex The Fool a compositions developing from silent acoustic sounds to sky-scraping post-rock ones. Another great and worth checking song would be We All Know One, but this is already mostly beautiful drones.
"Hopeless Optimism" can be yours for whatever you pay.
