Haunts - Mayfly (2020) EN

The British project projekt Haunts is one of those post-rock bands that it's not super loud about while it definitely should be. That's what I thought three years ago when I posted about their debut EP A Lack of Empathy and that's exactly what I think now when they released another one, called Mayfly.

The instrumental line up of the band includes not only guitars but also saxophone, violins and cello, what's more, the compositions are so artsy and guitars not pushy so the band's music can safely be called chamber/art post-rock. A lot of neoclassicism, moody fragments (fantastic in Eyes Wide), melancholy. This is no post-rock to headbang and inspire monumental awe but one to contemplate during a rainy day.

In Where We Divide the artists make the pace faster and thanks to the saxophone, their music soundss more and more jazzy. And the further into the album, the more surprises with some electronics and atmospheric post-rock for example.

Mayfly costs 3 GBP.
