Comment: Darius Gerulis, a 23-year-old musician from Lithuania, is a truesome and yet quite undiscovered genius on the post-rock realm. If to compare his youth and productivity with his aesthetic preferences, indeed, there can be found lots of similarities to Nic Ross aka gotikplage aka Our Subatomic Earth. It seems that the creating of music is his obsession as he has released approximately a dozen of albums during the last years. Abundantly textured soundscapes - potent ambient skies, organic synthetic-ness, near-abstract introspections, epic growings, exploding guitar massives, and solemn synergy oozing from those numerous layers. However, as unusual to the (classical) post-rock sound a listener can not get tired of it. Awesome. The huge question is how does Gerulis ring out at the stages of music festivals?
