IN A SAFE PLACE

After getting into GYBE!, Explosions in the Sky, God is an Astronaut, Fly Pan am, Do Make Say Think, Valley of Giants, Mogwai, and La Zona... i gotta say i wasnt expecting this to be any good...i read the biography and sounded like it would be way too experimental or a clone of any of the bands mentioned above...gracefully it wasnt!...

This is easy the best Post Rock a lá movie soundtrack i have heard till now..and i've been listening all experimental/post rock... this is definitely one of my favourites.

Art has always been a "way of expression" ... and i always thought it depended on what "expression" word meant for it...

Take modern art for example, they draw a grey triangle in a white sheet and its lke "its art"... for those who says its art, just dont read this review and buy some Metal album.

Going deepply in several albums of this genre, the "meaning" of each album gives you the chance of comparing them, is not like you can say "this sounds better than GYBE" cause they are all very sentimental albums(i.e. Explosions In the Sky -The Earth)...... this album lacks the experimental improvisation bound breakers the other bands have...but in the other hand you have a way more strong meaning in this one.

Playing classical instruments, fusioned with ambience spacey synthetizers makes the album instantly easier to appreciate , the drums are not doing noise background, or non real long jammings, or anything like that...bass makes a huge roll in this album, you can hear how it gives the perfect "carpet" for everything to sound as free as posible from the structure of the song.

This also has passion like the others bands, but this one has an ingredient the others doesnt have... its cold but with hope... melodies that make you feel secure, not happy but gives you a very special state of mind called "Peace of mind" ...

I wish we had 4,5 star to choose...

dont skip this one....

Stay Classy
