ṘO - Baiagoan (2023)

ṘO are a Basque post-rock band who debuted three years ago with an album called Athalase. This year, it was the time to show their second album and Baiagoan proves that this project is one to watch when it comes to guitar-oriented post-rock music.

The artists aim to creating "musical passages full of sadness and hatred, conveying a lot of emotions", something good post-rock music should be able to do, that's for sure. And the guitar compositions the Basque band provide is quite the essence of this: calm, lazy fragments suddenly develops into sound blizzards and then die down again. Some places make a strong impression with the weight of the guitar lines (so well-done in Hapaka!) or the innovative solutions (like in Ikaror), but in general, it is a very strong, well-balanced position for post-rock fans who enjoy the traditionally guitar-heavy approach to the genre.

Baiagoan costs 8 EUR.
