Vespers - Dour (2021)


Dour is the second short album from the Tennessee-based band Vespers. It is filled with guitar-based post-rock music that surprises with some unique ways of presenting the instrumental music.

The album is kept in a rather gloomy atmosphere. The music starts slow and with huge dose of reflectiveness, but when finally gets louder, the guitars show how to crush the audience with steady and heavy sound. There's some of the stoner rock's atmosphere here that is being slowed down and made into what post-metal is for black metal I suppose. This is abruptly changed in Bloodletting and its metal-like fast pace. And this very heavy, stoner-like approach to post-rock with fluctuating pace is the main theme of the EP - one that perhaps doesn't shock with anything but is genuinely very enjoyable (especially in the album's best and noisiest The Oldest House), even if in a bleaker way.

Dour costs 7 USD.
