Thanks to great three albums and, at least as importantly, their love for performing live (really, check out how many gigs they had last year!), the Swiss band of Hubris. worked for a label of one of the most interesting new(-ish) post-rock bands in Europe. And they are about to prove it with their fourth album called The One Above.
Their strong side is the ability to make very melodic instrumental music that doesn't lose anything from the post-rock's atmospheric vibes. The tracks are long and their complex compositions fluctuate from softer patterns that feel like some imagination-fueling short stories up to heavy, overwhelming fragments with guitar cascades that can easily crush the audience. And the story-telling part is no coincidence here. The Swiss band have a very distinct theme they like to submerge into in their music, namely, the Ancient Greek mythology and culture. This time, it's all about "exploring the works of Plato and his allegory of the cave". It's worth a while to read their interpretation or, perhaps, to try and develop yours while listening to this post-rock album of the best quality.
The One Above costs 5 EUR (5 CHF).
