Silent Whale Becomes A° Dream - North (2023)


One of my favourite lesser known post-rock acts is back! Silent Whale Becomes A° Dream Six years after their fantastic album Requiem, it's finally time for continuation in a form of a false EP called North.

I say it's false because, although it's only two tracks, together they make up over half an hour of the most atmospheric kind of post-rock. It is the kind of guitar music that creates soundscapes rather than compositions, it's post-rock that is all about the overwhelming, immersive atmosphere created by guitar and string instruments. And since the songs here are so long, it's no surprise that the French know how to slowly but surely develop their music from instrumental ambient up to the post-rock's specialty: beautiful crescendos. And the title of this EP definitely is not a coincidence: this music feels like the North itself: impressive to the point of fear and beautiful to the point of tears.

North costs 9 EUR.
