It's difficult to wrap one's mind around the fact that this beautiful noise is created by one man only. But yes, Skye Klein and his A Beautiful Machine continue the career with the fifth album called King Tide. And it's really well done.
Klein makes his post-rock shoegaze ot airy post-metal for 20 years already. It comprises "Love songs in space, space songs about love, pitch black vapour trails and all the colours old and new and never before named". In practice, it means shatteringly powerful guitar uproar, noise that is both massive and devastating but also beautiful. No wonder that the Australian's new album is dominated by the theme of the ocean.
Post-rock here is filled with dirt, atmospheric and poignant noise, very post-metal and sometimes even progressive compositions swing like the title's king tide. For me it's perhaps too metal-progressive but it's made up by the climactic moments of the epic post-rock.
King Tide costs 7 USD.
