It's been already three years since the French post-rockers of Lost in Kiev released the fantastic Persona and already a decade since their debut album Motions. To mark this milestone, the band shows their fourth LP called Rupture.
And, truth be told, it is mostly kept in the style they managed to get us used to already: the guitar post-rock filled with modern and exciting electronica up to the lid. As the guitars are really meant to be overwhelming and pretty dark-sounding, at least at the beginning, the lighter synthy side balances the resulting music perfectly. The material was recorded live and it may be the reason behind this energetic and engaging sound. The artists claim to dedicate this album to the environmental fight and "eco-angst" we all experience more and more these days - interestingly enough, they convey this in very modern-sounding way. And not that dark after all.
Because the further the album goes, the lighter, more melodic the compositions become. All of them are only instrumental, the only exception is the second track here, Prison of Mind, which reveals the album's guest star, The Ocean's vocalist, Loïc Rossetti and... it's honestly my least favourite track. On Rapture and generally in the French band's discography. The post-hardcore-like vocals don't match the complex music of Lost in Kiev as I see it. Or maybe I just really don't like this kind of vocals.
Rupture costs whatever you want to pay.
