Coastlands - Milieu Archives : Two (2016) EN


Loud ambient or barely hearable post-rock, somewhere on the border of the genres find themselves Coastlands, a quartet based in Portland. Their new album is a kind of speedpainting transferred into the field of music - as the artists themselves inform, it was created in just a week, recording and mastering included. Spontaneity makes emotions feel more real but in my humble opinion, the album sounds as if it was very carefully planned.

All the sounds match each other perfectly from the beginning up to the end, they build up an intriguing soundscape in which the dominant parts are reserved for guitars and, I guess, violins. There are also quite unsuspected moments like e.g. fast drumbeat lurking somewhere in the shadows of "Flora and Fauna". The whole thing is so attractive also because it can't be exactly marked as ambient or post-rock. If you feel interested you should also check the first part "Milieu Archives : One" that was released in April 2015.

"Milieu Archives : Two" is available for free.
