This seems to be a good time for post-rock in Latvia. I have recently posted about EYRTH, there is TESA, one of my favourite post-rockers worldwide, and now it's time for Riga-based trio A Farewell to Words. And although they have already appeared on my blog (lon time ago, I already forgot about it to be honest), AFTW is their debut LP.
Although the Latvian artists claim to draw inspirations from both shoegaze, post-punk and metal music, the post-rock they present is clearly mostly influenced by the latter. The guitar-oriented compositions are based on the very metal-like riffs with occasional angry vocals (Patriks Palsāns in Mriya) and those characteristic, blackened vibes. While it's not like the artists don't care about the atmospheric part of their music, it is probably true that they are more focused on the heaviness and melodic intensity. But this stops being true towards the end of the album with more traditionally post-rock Painfully Aware.
AFTW costs 7.77 EUR.
