AFFORMANCE

— First review of this album —

Oh, what an Afformance! This is contemplative music for the psyche and the soul. Afformance are listed as Post Rock/Math Rock here on PA, although Math Rock doesn't really add up for me. Either way, you can expect to hear plenty of ambient soundscapes from this Greek quintet, so not exactly a Peloponnesian potpourri of pop, but don't let that subtract from the sound of Afformance, as their spacey introspective albums are something soothing to while away the hours whilst contemplating your navel, when you've got nothing more exciting to do than rearranging your sock drawer. There's really not much to choose between Afformance's four albums and two EP's, but Music for Imaginary Film #1 certainly has the most intriguing title, and if spending an entire afternoon watching deeply introspective Ingmar Bergman movies is your idea of fun, then this is the album for you!
