Arpina - Spacenation (2020) EN

Spacenation is a debut EP from Arpiny, a band from, attention, Syria. And although they are here mostly because of their potential, the music on the album shows some really solid airy approach to post-rock genre.

The album clearly sounds very much lo-fi and the question if it's on purpose or just because of lacks in production is really quite straightforward. Still, those few tracks here show a good taste in creating inspired, ethereal atmosphere with loud guitars and climactic backing vocals that appear in Reborn and do their job there. In Space Nation  it gets more space-ish while Stalking Stelars makes a very instrumental ambient journey that transforms into Stargaze, the only song with vocals - super noisy but also atmospheric. The ability to deal with various genres is a great advantage and I'm waiting for the Syrians to show more their stuff.

Spacenation costs 10 USD.
