This very holding back

by Locomotora

supported by

brantly Great post-rock from this Finnish band. While still adhering to the cathartic protocol of loud / quiet dynamics, this LP also explores a neo-classical minimalism, not unlike some aspects of Mono. But, what I really love is the darkly lit drones that flicker in and out of the songs like spectral daydreams. Favorite track: than to be walked along..

This is the most amazing post-rock discovery I've had in a long time. How have I not heard of this band previously? I have been listening to this and their other album for days straight after first listen. Amazing, deep, powerful. Words don't do justice. Listen and lose yourself in this. zeuslyone
