Am Fost La Munte Și Mi-a Plăcut - La Vale (2022)


The "Romanian post-rock band about going up mountains and enjoying oneself" (that mostly describes their iconic name) is back with more music! Their last album, La Deal, accompanied me when I was on my way to the last dunk!festival when the Romanians played as well; the new one, La Vale, made coming back from this year's dunk! easier.

And the two albums are really very much connected - not only the album covers suggest it, the first one's title translates to "Uphill", the second's to "Downhill". But the sound of La Vale doesn't feel like going down, really. The band is fluent in creating impressive and very guitar-oriented compositions that more often than not end with monumental crescendos (thus it is still more like going upwards than downwards imo). The music here feels heavy but also fast at the same time (which is so well-audible in Nu Mai Comandăm De La Ăștia), like a speeding train that can't brake so easily even if the driver wants to. Having said that, the Romanians' most characteristic ability is probably writing the instrumental composition in one of the most melodic ways I know within the genre.

La Vale costs 10 USD.
