Whale Fall - It Will Become Itself (2020) EN

The Art as Catharsis label added Californian post-rockers from Whale Fall to their team. Released in April, the album It Will Become Itself makes a fresh take on guitar post-rock with ambitions to become something more.

The uniqueness of the band is due to their ability to combine the traditional post-rock instruments with "more pastoral strokes of piano, cello, brass, and occasional analog synth." The album was created on the basis of a studio improvisation of the whole band that after several months was discovered anew and assessed to be good enough to become a regular release and so it became itself as the title states.

Great impression is made by the track that lasts by almost the half of the not so short album, called El Caracol. It's here that you can best feel this impro, very much jazzy but still extremely atmospheric vibe of the band. And the album climaxes in A Street Scene and its chaotically instrumental cacophony.

It Will Become Itself costs 10 AUD.
