We Lost the Sea - Triumph & Disaster (2019) EN

Four years ago they made a long lasting impression on the whole post-rock world with their album Departure Songs and now We Lost the Sea go further with the new album called Triumph & Disaster.

And the musicians from the Down Below have a clear idea about this album: it's a "post-apocalyptic view on the collapse of the world told like a children’s story and illustrated through the eyes of a mother and her son." And just as the description suggests, the album begins with a heavy hit in the 15-minutes long Towers. The especially phenomenal is its middle part in which the utterly unsettling guitars are put together with almost marching sounds of piano. 

Great idea was also to make a break in the peaceful track Dust and its barely audible trumpet in the background and improvising bass and piano. The next track is surely crazier, Parting Ways, thanks to the ever changing pace, truly shows two separate paths. The album finds it finish in the solid noise of The Last Sun and quite surprisingly in Mother's Hymn with Louise Nutting's vocals making sure that the album is "a sad love letter about the collapse of the planet".

Triumph & Disaster costs 15 AUD.
