Ah, yes, after last week's Cats of Transnistria, there comes another common guest of this blog. I follow the Lebanese Postcards' career since their 2020's sophomore album and I'm never disappointed with what they cook in their artistic, lyrical minds. Last month they released their 5th album with the title suggesting that it is their final artistic form.
So what is this ripe fruit of their work? It is a melancholic and moody as ever, but I feel like the band shifted slightly their sound towards chamber rock (pop/singer-songwriter vocals and compositions accompanied by rock-like yet very moody guitars (Poison!) ) at the expense of the dreamy tones. Slight shift, there's still tons of the oneiric parts (like the beautiful ending of Wasteland Rose), but generally makes me think of how Lucy Kruger plays after Medicine Boy got disbanded. Nevertheless, the music is addressed to the sensitive audience just like it's been up to this point.
This thought is acknowledged by the band itself as the description of the album includes phrases like "[the band] transmute their rage into something transcendental" and "[the album] is as much a departure as it is a natural evolution for the band: rawer, darker, but with the same unflinching resolve". One has to also remember about the wherabouts of the artist's music: coming from Lebanon, it revolves around many hardships their land faces, which is reflected in the titles like Wasteland Rose, Ruins or Construction Site, in many places drawing comparison between the world in shambles and the reality of one's love life.
