Isolation Drills - Year One (2021)


Isolation Drills is a fairly new post-rock project by two Indianapolis artists Dino Maglinte and Tony Reitz. Their music is a very guitar-oriented and somewhat heavy take on post-rock and their debut EP, called Year One, gives a taste of the duo's song-writing abilities.

The compositions they present are pretty long and this means that they can slowly but surely develop into noisy, guitar-filled tunes. However, in the first part of the album, there's no real crescendos here, the songs feel heavy and loud, but light on bombastic, wall-of-noise solutions. And they feature vocals too, which is particularly surprising after the long and engaging instrumental intro in The Otakus. The vocals make the whole thing closer to guitar psychedelic rock, stoner-like heavy but also very much melodic. And, as the project's name may suggest, the artists are focused on the uneasiness of the present times and the need to start again with Glacial's lyrics beginning with "Reaching out from the North, leveling it all (...)/ Start it over".

The second part of the EP features some more of the post-rock characteristic, very loud and satisfying finishes. There's grandeur and there's noise, a very uplifting and awe-inspiring kind of music.

Year One costs 4 USD.
