Probably it is too early for me to write about "Seasons" by the Swedish duo Old Seas / Young Mountains. It's because, as you may have guessed, the album is going to be about seasons and it is being released as separate EPs - the first one was the spring one, the third and the last so far - autumn. The winter one is missing but this music is so good it just couldn't wait.
OS/YM is created by Linus Andersson and Adam Jacobsson who play guitar post-rock that can build up a unique atmosphere: there's not so much of the deafening wall of sounds, more like keys, trembling sounds and ambiance. And it is a concept album so the April part is full of light keys coming out of the dense guitar background, just like spring flowers from the snow, the August one brings singing birds and lively synth sounds while the one from October - less pleasant music sounding as the titles suggest, like northern wind. I'm pretty curious about the final EP.
"Four Seasons" by Vivaldi? Almost there, certainly really atmospheric post-rock from the north.
Each of the EPs costs as much as we want to pay.
