T E S A - C O N T R O L (2020) EN

The Latvian band TESA was exactly the third I posted about on this blog, almost precisely four years ago. Time flies and if you want to say something about the post-rockers, it would be that they are only getting better. Their newest album called C O N T R O L simply pounds one to the ground.

I love when the top quality guitar sounds get so loud, massive and exciting that it's almost dangerous. And the Latvians have those as it's audible from the very first seconds of Control 1. It won't be any exaggeration when I say that their massiveness brings awe and fear at the same time, first class post-rock - dark and overpowering. And then there's also the f a n t a s t i c, "broken" finish that makes my spine thrill.

But it would be wrong to say that this is definitely the best track of the album as the rest is simply at least as good. Control 3 brings some breaks which does, however, quickly turns into a marching and so epic Control 4 and so it goes until the very end, an extremely impressive one too, one after which  you have to take a pause to get yourself together. One of the best post-rock albums this year, no doubts.

C O N T R O L costs 6 EUR.
