Syberia: Drawing a Future

Valerie — Thu, 23 May 2013 13:00:51 +0000

Post-rock enthusiasts just might find a favorite in Spanish band, Syberia. Made up of Xavi Forne, Oscar Linares, Kandro Dillinger, Carlos Alonso and Oscar Caselles, these guys create a thick wall of instrumental rock that will keep you warm in the dead of winter.

Gathering influences from bands like Isis, Tool, Mogwai, Mastodon and Caspian, they create a hypnotic layer of sound in each cut.

Drawing a Future is the band’s debut compilation and was released last September 2012 at a name-your-price download at BandCamp.

Renaissance kicks open the doors of the compilation as it balances between post rock and metal. The soft opening riff plays on for about a minute before giving way to a richer, not to mention, louder barrage of guitar riffs and cymbals.

One of the best cuts on the record, Colossus Collapse, is as big as its title sounds. The song provides layers of sound in epic proportions. It highlights the contrast between strong and soft while creating drama and mystique as it goes.

Stepping out of character, Red Dawn sees the band exploring their quieter side for a tad bit before introducing distortion. There’s an air of victory and triumph enveloping the track; making for an inspiring listen.

Drawing a Future underneath it all, provides a good ray of hope with a promise of victory. Sort of like a light at the end of a tunnel, each track has its way of beckoning listeners to head towards the light. It’s a beautiful compilation that should satisfy any prog metalheads out there.

1. Renaissance 06:47
2. Stampede 05:03
3. Colossus Collapse 05:12

Shipwrek: Journal

Valerie — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:01:46 +0000

With nothing but a short sentence stated on his website “about” section, Journal by Shipwrek is as mysterious as it is engaging.

Aiming to capture those fleeting moments and translate them into a gorgeous mix of beats, synths and rhythm; Journal manages to create a rich landscape of sound that listeners can easily get lost in.

The man behind Shipwrek is Jason Siegler. His fascination with capturing his day to day existence into sound initially started as a simple project but quickly evolved into a complex set of recordings that throb and �pulse with energy as well as life.

Journal is one of those albums you’d want to put on if you need a break from repetitive pop music or loud songs. Made up of laid-back, contemplative beats; it’s easy to mind map your way through things with this compilation on.

As mentioned, the songs on the album serve as a day to day recording of the artists’ life translated into beats, synths, samples and other quirky/soothing sounds. Starting off this album is Speakeasy, a concoction of trip hop beats and a slight gamer almost “curious” vibe throughout the track. One thing you’ll notice as the cuts take one turn after another, is that each one has its own little atmosphere and personality.

In Chasing Circles, you have that reflective mood playing off as the piano swirls and electronic beats fly around before eventually forming into a cohesive unit. Other cuts to check out include For the Days You Don’t Feel It and Barefeeted.

Overall, the entire record flows with emotion. Each instrument and sound used has a purpose; making it a charming album that could easily become the soundtrack to your day to day life as well. Take a listen and enjoy.

Title track Roots open the listener with rapid flowing keys that ascends and descends in a smooth sailing manner. Old Times, on the other hand, features a slower timbre. The pauses in between the notes channels an overall dramatic vibe.

A charming simple track, Sea Heart is a blissfull piece that’s filled with clean notes that extends one after the other. Playing Together is also a love piece with a more modern vibe. I love how the piece lulls the ears as slow tracks slowly builds into rapid and heavy keys.

An ideal backdrop for dinner dates or lazy weekends, Sharing Coffee is a remarkable ensemble of high and slow keys that gently drifts in the ears.

As a whole, Roots exposes Galdson‘s remarkable talent as a composer. It is quite hard to find classical pieces that’s easy to digest and relate to, but Galdson did it remarkably well. For those seeking for pleasurable relaxing music, this is the right album for you.

Ben K Adams: Nonchalant

Valerie — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:01:37 +0000

Bringing in a fusion of experimental trip hop and dance pop sounds, Nonchalant by Ben K. Adams is a nice little getaway compilation for those looking to enjoy a little time out on the dancefloor.

This is the latest release from the artist and it combines his skillful guitar playing with his expert mixing skills.

Nonchalant is a short EP but it’s enough to entice the listeners and keep them hooked with the few tracks it has in tow.�

Opening with the semi acoustic number, It’s Been Done Before; the song reminds me of�Justin Timberlake and marked with a catchy pop beat. It’s�a nice number that coaxes dance moves out of you. Essentially, a great upbeat electro track that serves as a perky opener for the EP.

It’s followed by, I Hope Dana Approves, which slows down the tempo of the EP a tad bit. If the first one was a straight up, jump-into-the-dancefloor-track; this second one is more the smoothly- slide-onto-the-dancefloor beat. They’re both equally enjoyable though. Meanwhile, You’ll Die Regretting Everything, has an Eastern feel to it. It combines exotic sounding samples as well as a somewhat spiritual atmosphere.

Final track Carcinogenic Closure, runs for only 2 minutes. In the track, the artist creates a jazzy coffee club beat with pianos and sparkling sounds.

According to the artist, each sound represents something he hasn’t done before. It’s a sweet and fresh compilation that deserves a listen, for sure. Check out the download and see if you like it.

Valerie — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 14:01:21 +0000

On a Tightrope to the Sun is a collection of tracks by singer/songwriter Jacob Montague.�The album contains mostly new originals from the singer and one track from his previous record, Fly On.

Known for his spontaneous approach when it comes to recording and creating his sound; the album captures the quiet beauty of instruments while encapsulating beautiful melodies that’s present in Jacob’s sound.

Like his previous album, this one is offered at a name-your-price option over at his BandCamp page.

This is the second compilation Montague has explored as a solo performer. The prolific musician also moonlights as a member of indie folk number, Branches, as well as electronic folk group, Achilles and the Tortoise.�While making On a Tightrope to the Sun, fellow Achilles and the Tortoise member, Zach Pattison, helped remix the cuts.

Composed of 15 tracks, the record opens with twinkly keyboards and soaring synths; London is a track that conjures images of the movie-myth frame of the rainy and romantic city. Slightly uptempo and filled with bright beats, the song opens the record in a nice way. All of the songs on here are instrumental but Jacob’s capacity to mesmerize with his arrangements and use of instruments are shown in full force. Cuts�like London Acoustic,�Cinema, Once Youth and This Sea of Sound are among my favorite ensembles in the record.

Overall, the album fares well as a cleanser of the palate. The songs are clear and communicate a pureness that’s fit for relaxing when you’ve had a stressful day. Go take a listen and grab the download.
