The Petersburg-based post-rockers of April Rain appeared on this blog already, but it was very long time ago, back in 2016, and with a very different album from what they usually do, a piano-based A Melting Snowman EP for a guitar post-rock collective. So it's a high time to show what they can do now with a great example in form of their new album called Mirror of Ether.
The group is devoted to the instrumental and traditional sound of post-rock, early God Is an Astronaut and other legends would appreciate it. The compositions here are exclusively guitar-oriented and loud but not particularly massive or dark. There's a lot of the lively guitar play here with the energy and fun exposed in the foreground. This is a kind of music that would be a blast experienced live. That being said, there are also darker and moodier moments, especially the impressive and massive Towards the Native Uvalas or Sleeping Beauty Syndrome. Not to mention the impressive finale in Pathway that starts slow but at the end is pure and loud magic. It's no secret I prefer those heavier tracks, but it only means that most of the post-rock fans should be able to get something they like here.
Mirror of Ether costs 7 USD.
