Jakob is a trio inventing and performing music in unique way. It may be similar to a silent movie, or a life retrospective motion.
These “Pioneers of post-rock” hailing from New Zealand have been always aside from the mainstream. Continue reading
Very nice album containing atmospheric melodies and heavy riffs as well. Authentic intersection of post-rock with post-metal – when there’s no sense to put a label.
Despite the fact that British band Bossk is barely prolific group (one full length album for a decade is not that much), “Audio Noir” is a nickel album with some sort of goosebumps encrusted.
Stafrænn Hákon is collective from Iceland performing atmospheric music in their own way.
Fresh guitars, deep and embracing bass, vivid drums with a help of strings and sometimes brass instruments. Demure vocal parties performed by Magnús Freyr Gíslason copmlete the picture in some pieces. Lyrics are in Icelandic and it vbrings one more authentic accent to the music.

Great album of Polish band performing atmosperic post-rock.
These guys are creating audial space and filling it with melodies, pulsations and perpectives. And yes, portions of goosebumps appear after neat preparation for them – I think this is the benchmark of Tides From Nebula.

In my opinion, this album is for sure one of the best in 2017.
Australian band Menisus not so often records their works but they do invent masterpieces. For the moment I write these lines Refractions is the top one and each track is worthy of praise. The first, “Doom”, now associates with the band the most, when I think of Meniscus. Continue reading
Vivid and melancholic, this album is perfectly illustrated by it’s cover picture: a journey at night with myriad of stars lightening your’s way.
All tracks fit together and reveal soft and delicate feeling.
