Montrouge is a band created by Spanish artists who wanted to play something they couldn't have in their projects: the blending of post-rock and dream pop inspired by bands such as This Will Destroy You, Slowdive or Beach House. And we can now check how they did on their new EP with a gloomy title El Libro de la Autodestrucción y la Melancolía.
The album is opened by the lazy, slowcore pace and warm voice of Lorena Prieto in Carmel-By-The-Sea and it's extremely charming. And although the pace keeps changing (faster, more catchy Océanos standing right next to the ballad track Jobbé-Duval), the Spaniards' music's core idea is clear: clear and melancholic vocals and moody music usually reminding of dream pop than shoegaze's overwhelming wall of sound, although we do have some of the latter in the final parts of the EP. The whole thing is a charming soundtrack filled with melody and melancholy meaning that Beach House can be proud of Montrouge.
