where mermaids drown - Reminisce (2023)


It's been already two years since the French band where mermaids drown showed their first short album called And the Raging Winds Do Blow and what a debut it was! Now it's time for the artists, after a great gig at last year's dunk!festival, to prove that they belong to the most exciting new post-rock outfit in Europe.

On their new album, the band explores the way the relationships between humans are built and how they die, making room for creating life-long memories. And their approached the theme with a set of already-proved tools they are really good at: creating very moody, very atmospheric post-rock that is ready to serve slower, moodier peaces that lead to loud and massive fragments of guitar bliss. I like dividing post-rock into two categories: the more guitar-riff-melodies kind and the atmosphere-is-crucial one; where mermaids drown seem to be a perfect bridge over the two. One can't deny the thickness of the music layers here, but there's a good deal of guitar melodies (those faster and slower as well) - a really well-balanced album.

Reminisce costs 10 EUR.
