Dérives - Ferae seves (2022)

It's been almost three months since this album was released, but I couldn't not mention it on this blog. For the French band of Dérives, Ferae seves is the debut release, but I adore it and it's going to be one of my favourite post-rock releases of the year.

In the post-rock genre I especially like piano-led music and the darker version of the genre. And the French artists do both at the same time. Their compositions not only "include" piano sounds, they are built upon them. Yet, it's not only about piano's beauty, it's about the melancholia, sadness and anxiety that it brings to the music. And when the audience is occupied by dark thoughts, the heavy and crushingly overwhelming guitars come to play. What is important is that the band take their time to properly develop the track, as in Mormal, the album's longest track, the instrumental intro gets more and more quiet only to shock the listener with extremely loud and satisfying, piano-infused finish.
