The Italian post-rockers from Van Gogh Season for the first appeared on my blog back in 2019 with their second EP. Now they are back with more material. Although it's called an EP, Versus is considerably longer and contains some fresh and exciting instrumental music.
They admit to take inspirations from bands such as Maybeshewill and sleepmakeswaves - very guitar-oriented music with tons of energy and excitement. No wonder they describe their own music as "combining energetic riffs with vigorous build-ups and calm pianistic sections" - the part about piano sounds may be even an understatement: all of the compositions are based on the beautifully composed piano passages with guitars adding the post-rock's dark energy to the mix. The tracks are quite complex in every aspect: the melodies and pace change often and with great results, there are also precious details like voice samples (sometimes from quite unorthodox sources like Emma Stones' lines from La La Land) and electronic tidbits from time to time.
From my perspective, Kracovia is the most interesting track here. Not only is it the fastest and the most powerful one here, not only is it finished in an impressive and surprising way, it's also somehow about the city I live in and it makes me curious. I would love the band to come here, that's for sure.
Versus costs 7 EUR.
