The only thing I like more than discovering new artists who play awesome music is to discover new artists who play awesome music and come from exotic places. This is where Postcards from Lebanon fit perfectly. They create dream pop of the highest quality and have just released their second album called The Good Soldier.
After a well-received debut two years ago they go further with the new album that is "a hauntingly beautiful work that’s welcoming and chilling in equal measure". It's a collection of quite short, extremely airy compositions that may or may not include some aggressively raw guitars as well. On the other hand, Julia Sabra's vocals don't leave any room for doubts - it's dream pop, ethereal masterpiece, cosmic bless. And it only somehow happened that it's also influenced by slowcore, post-punk or surf rock.
Some of the tracks are dense, airy-sauce-drowning dream pop bangers, some others seem more like twee pop songs in minimalist arrangements (as the title track The Good Soldier). But the best sounding is probably Last Resort in which great role is played by impressive pipe organs-like sounds.
The Good Soldier costs 10 USD.
