Sedminet Bruise come from the Greek Thessaloniki and play post-rock hued indie rock. And they do that so well that their music caught my attention although it's not entirely in the blog's genre's spectre. Still, the unique and quality way of making music made it impossible for me to ignore their new album In-Between.
The band is characterized by "by atmospheric post melodies, which harmoniously combine the unique sound of the violin with the classic rhythm section and the urban aesthetic-fully emotional vocals". and those vocals are indeed something that immediately catches attention. They are unorthodox, uniquely coloured and often dispersed. They align well with the loud, guitar-synth music and catchy melodies. And the atmosphere of the album is the work of airy backing vocals and violins.
One can't say that the Greeks can't write catchy songs. They do it with the help of some tricks like children (or children-sounding) choir in Mirror, or almost orchestral chorus with the Verve's vibe in The Shore, And there are those violins, I love their sound everywhere, but here they sound especially great, also with in combination with samples in Emergency Response.
