Italian band with q unique name, unique work description ("atmospheric touches of instrumental rock with the emotional pull of American Football's repetitive arpeggios") and finally with unique instrumental music. We're checking out their new album called Beyond.
The album is meant to be a "soundtrack to overcoming one’s limitations" and shows the idea of the Italians on their music: to combine the emotions of the instrumental post-rock with the emotions of the American emo music. And indeed, the first two tracks contain some international level post-rock focused on generating atmosphere while the following ones include both emotional vocals and moody whispers.
An interesting case is the track That One is Cacus the lyrics of which are taken from the 25th song of Dante Alighieri's Inferno. Spoken out loud make a brilliant complement to the peaceful post-rock in the background and this is first of all what makes the band's music stand out. Just like the whispers (awesome in Seven Kings of Rome) as there's nothing better to create thick atmosphere. But still, the album;'s best is probably the "traditionally" post-rock A Part of You.
Beyond costs 7 EUR.
