We Are Impala, although he name and the psychedelic colours may suggest otherwise, is not a side project by Tame Impala. It is a Spanish post-rock band who released their third album this January. You can safely say that Visions elevates them to the higher tears of the European post-rock artists league.
In We Are Impala's music you can hear balance between very rock music riffs and post-rock aesthetics. The album is not particularly gloomy/depressive, more like, as suggested by the cover art, it inspires awe with its music diversity and psychedelia. Still, unlikely other similar projects, the Spanish were able to create coherent atmosphere that rules the audience from the album's beginning to its end.
It's well-heard in Alpha Centauri. This track is a place where the musicians combined meaty rock riffs with very aesthetically pleasing keys. The combination may sound risky, but the Spanish made it work like this rocket going straight towards distant stars. The band rarely slow down, but when they do, like in Psychotrii, you can safely bet that they do so only to make the following track sound even more dynamic and poignant.
Visions costs 3 EUR.
