All I Heard Was Static - Wine Bottles And Bayonets (2019) EN

All I Heard Was Static is a lesser known duo from Wales led by Tom Wallace. Lesser known but on their new album, Wine Bottles And Bayonets, the artists showed that they are good in making an interesting, synth-based post-rock.

The leitmotif of the album is not-so-optimistic sentence "people are not good to each other", it appears in Heinrich, but seems to be present throughout the whole album. The lyrics appear in the songs thanks to the omnipresent samples taken from various sources and it makes the Welsh sound like my favourite Public Service Broadcasting (especially in Safe Places with samples taken from an oldschool educational broadcast (?)), but their music is rather based on the sounds of synthesizers and other electronic tricks. The last ones are very notable in my favourite track called Rockland and its fascinating finish.
