Slow Grave - Foam (2021)

Slow Grave is a project revolving around Carlos Rosa, an artist from Puerto Rico, with some interesting, very rough and guitar take on post-rock. This year's Foam is also their debut album and one fans should give a go.

The band's music is definitely guitar-oriented. There's little room for anything else and, as usual for this kind of approach to post-rock, it results in sudden changes of melody and pace and, most importantly, this chaotic energy typical for math-rock artists. The cooperation between guitars results in complicated and complex structures in which every sound has its own place. I'd say the tracks could be longer so there's more time for the compositions to develop but this method with shorter ones also has its charm, a bit more punky and energy-focused in that way.

Although there are also calmer tracks like Morningtide. The range of the band's styles is quite impressive, it's good to have the ability to manage all sorts of guitar moods and I like the most the songs that combine the most of it. Like Red Coast or coming close to post-metal Voyager. And of course the album's perfect ending in Lockne, the track that's... last but one.
