The "Nordic noise noir" band from Denmark, Weal, appeared already on this blog last year with their debut LP called Calm. And it didn't take the artists long to follow it with another well-constructed post-rock album: Undivided.
Although the album is mostly filled with instrumental post-rock music, it is opened by Junky, the only track with vocals here. And I should say, it really works in this song: the melodic psychedelia creeps here into the very guitar-heavy and very loud post-rock genre. And the album stays this way up til the end; I really appreciate the texture of the walls of noise here: they feel extremely overwhelming and crushingly loud. And it all means that the job is well done. But there are moments of more subtle sound, even then, however, the music is not without this kind of poignant nervousness that makes the album exciting (as it is the case with Past to Present). And the whole thing finds its release in the dangerous-sounding (though not that loud after all) finish in La Résistance. A coherent and dark kind of album.
Undivided costs 7 USD.
