Paraphon Tree is a duet made of the German musicians Aron Jäger and Felix Rambach who play post-rock with a very noticeable hint of industrial music. They showed it on their April album"Aura".
The album welcomes us with its raw, industrial sound provided by the clear drums that feel as if someone played it in an abandoned factory rooms. Unlike other projects, the Germans show their longest and most epic track as first, not the last one. In it, they serve long, slowly developing intro, jazz-like insertions and massive guitars in the track's final part.
And it's only a beginning, "Firefly" stands out due to its beautiful keys, "Macro Worm" with the electronically sounding parts and "Astrophysics" with the truly metal guitars. The whole album finds its great finish in its best track, "Structures in the Clouds" in which the band combines the more traditional post-rock with music filled with the guitar grandeur.
"Aura" costs 7 EUR.
